i just got a pair of suspects for cheap i havent rode them yet and have heard mixed reviews. alot of people have bitched that they delam and are crappy but others have said there fine. so i think you just have got to be lucky if your getting a pair of suspects. i dont have a clue about the disorderlys but past k2 skis in general the top sheet chipped really easily. maybe join the k2 cult

from what i have seen, k2's are a fair bit heavier than a lot of other skis. if its between those 2 i would say take your chances with the suspects

k2s- heavy, durable, decent ski.  not too playful, but there arent many k2s that are...

suspects- light, poppy, playful, enjoyable, but will fall apart within a month.  ive seen like 15 threads about kids saying their suspects/dumonts ripped edges out after like 2 weeks of moderate riding.

overall, id say the suspects would be more fun for a short period of time.  if you have the cash, go suspects and be prepared to buy a new ski for next year.  otherwise, go k2 and ride them out for a loong time.
