Whats the difference between the regular scratch and the scratch fs? Are the scratches any good or is it worth the extra money for the scratch fs?

Scratch has a wood core. FS has a triple hybrid core that makes them lighter. It's worth the extra money. FS kicks ass.

it's not weight, it's the snap back and stiffness

FS are softer. But if you're on scratches you want a fairly soft ski. If you want a stiff ski don't buy either of them.

I ride the Scratches. They are definately ont as soft as some other park skis, and they have the same flex as some of the softer side of all mountain skis. They are pretty durable, ive beaten the hell out of them on rails and the edges are holding up fine at the moment. I'd prolly say go ahead and spend the extra money personally, but these were what was available to me and they're decent.
