Replying to 09/10 vs 08/09 EP pros

So here is my situation. I need to get some new skis this year and really like the EP pros. I rode them in AK and they were the perfect ski for me. My question is this: Is there any difference between this years and last years model, besides graphics? i have heard the 09/10 ones are a bit stiffer. Any truth to this? and if so, how much stiffer? If they are the same i think i may get the 08/09 ones because i love those graphics so much, but if they are different besides cosmetically i will have to think this over more. Thanks
