Decision on getting Line Invaders or Afterbangs

As everyone knows, the invader is being discontinued and the afterbang is the "new and great" park ski from line.  The afterbang is supposed to retail at about $350 at the beggining of the season.  The Line invader is retailing at $131 online right now!  So I'm going to pick up invaders for next year and then maybe get the '10 afterbangs for cheaper the following year.  Any thoughts?

Spark notes:I'm getting 09 line invaders for next year instead of afterbang cuz they are only $131

Get the invaders, you will not regret it. Get them longer because they are more stable because they are so soft and they feel real short. Wait and let the afterbangs get some use for a year to see if there are any bugs in them and let Line work them out if they are. That's generally what I do when a new ski comes out.

You can't really go wrong with a legit park ski for $131. 

Ski the crap out of the Invaders and pick up the Afterbangs at the end of the season next year.
