Ar6 = stiffer -> better for booters/ mountain (generally)
Anthem = softer -> more fun for jibbing and such (typically will wheelie out of big jumps)

anyway, i love my ar6s, but you have to be the judge to a certain extent

I have anthems and my best friend has 08-09 ar6s. The anthems are obviously heavier which is a negative to me, but the symetrical shaped anthems feel really good switch. At one point we were both learning to spin of rails and i thought he had an advantage with a lighter set up but then decided its not the bow and arrow but the indian that makes the difference.

i own both the ar6 and the invader (kind of similar to the anthem) but anyways, from my experience, the ar6 kills it vs. the symetrical soft skis. I'm in love with my ar6's.

Hom much do u weigh? How hard do you ski?
The softness of the anthem won't matter on big jumps that much i you don't weigh too much.
I ordered some spirals 3 days ago and they should be in by thursday; I can give you a short little review of them after i ski on them over the weekend and stuff.
