Tough choice, out of the 3 I've only skied the walls, and I pretty much told you about them in your other thread. They are a fun ski, a little stiff, but still fun to ski. 100% symmetrical means they'll rip all over the mountain forward and switch. Extremely durable, I beat the crap out of mine and had nothing but a few minor scratches on the base (easily fixed with some wax) and some very minor topsheet chipping (happens to every ski - especially on the east coast with the ice). I loved mine, the only thing I don't like about the 2010 is the graphic - could be so much better (although I haven't seen them in person yet, so they may be sicker than I think) I like the 08 graphic the best (the green), but that's mostly cause I'm a fan of green.

As far as the ON3P's and the Punx, I don't know much, but I've excellent things about both. Wish I could help more on those.

Sure i guess, Walls and Blue Steeles are going to be the most similar, but the obvious choice for me would be ON3P because they are at a ridiculous price right now, the materials are better, and you are supporting a start-up and extremely legit company and crew behind the name. I dont know anything about Punx but im gonna go out on a limb and say they can get nowhere near Blue Steeles and probably Walls because they are a sick ski as well.

Blue steels have a bamboo core, are custom made, and generally better quality since its not a mass produced ski. All are sick, but for the pre sale ON3P price, you can't really beat that
