09 Thall=AR6?

Can't really find too much on the 09 Thall other than it is stiffer than the past noodles.  Same width and lengths as the AR6, same features labeled on Armada's sight, maby it's a different flex pattern?  Any reviews welcome too since the reviews out tend to be very vague.  Also, people say the big difference between AR6s and PCs is materials used, but do AR6s have as much camber at PCs?

the flex patterns are indeed different, the THall flexes in front and behind the binding and is seemingly softer than the AR6 which has a soft but even flex but the AR6 is very stable at high speed but I have not tried the T-Hall so I have no idea as to its jump or groomer performance

I rode the T-Halls all year in every condition. They're really poppy with lots of snap and popping off the tails, doing nollies and presses are very fun and quite easy with them. I even skiied powder in whistler for week and they managed pretty well, sure they are park skis, but i managed to take them anywhere without to much difficulty. They are not noodles like people say they were in the previous models, they were the perfect flex for me. I have never skiied the AR6, but I would definately recommend the T-Halls for someone looking for a solid park ski and who enjoys skiing everywhere from time to time.

The differences are mostly negligible. The Thall is just a slightly softer AR6 with different graphics. You'll be happy with either but I would go with the AR6 over the Thall because I prefer stiffer skis.
