Are there any major differences between the durability of this years and the last years model? Because I definitely like the graphics better on the last years model and I might get a good deal for them. But if they have made some big changes for the (top-sheet) durability then I might get this years model after all.

Bump this good question, anyone know if there's a difference between 08/09 and 09/10 as well?

i think they work on improving the durability each year
the 06/07 bacons are WAY less durable than 07/08 but i'm not sure if there're any huge differences between this year's and last years
topsheet material feels a little different and my 09 bacons showed zero damage after some hard use and landing directly on a rock off a like 8 footer but that being said i haven't ridden 07/08 bacons

I have the 08/09s and they have had great durability.  Thesandwich construction chips much less than the soft wrap-around on my anthems.  That being said, I'm warrantying them after plowing into a  tree skiing switch.  I had just 180ed a cliff and didn't looked around fast enough.  I'm not surprised I know have a decent tail rocker, but they're still quite skiable.
