Replying to Pipe Cleaners: New vs. Old

hi guys,

I am interested in buying new skis right now (as in today), and I've narrowed my search down to the pipe cleaner. My question is as follows: Is the 08 - 09 version different than the current model (09 - 10). are there any differences in the ski (excluding graphics)?

Also, any additional input on the performance of the ski is helpful. NOTE: this ski i am using for jumps pretty much only (rail usage is minimal to none)

Thanks guys.

p.s if you're wondering, i can get the older version for 250 dollars cheaper than this years, so im just trying to save some money.
