I'm debating between the ace of spades and the the suspects. the $150 price difference is good for the suspects. I have the original suspects and love them. Ive heard the ace of spades are great and am tempted to try them out.
please leave durability out of the debate

What are the big differences between the skis?

I have heard good things about Ace of Spades, and good things about Suspects before they break.  I would go for the Ace of Spades though.

i demo'd next years ace of spades and have tried out the suspects as well as the old 1080's and every other free ski they have made since.

the ace of spades is without question, a ski with better construction, higher end materials, as well as being a ski that can take a fair bit more.

if your a really light young kid, go with the suspects you will love them, your skiing only in the park.

if you want a ski that can do a bit more all mountain, take a whole lot more speed. go with the ace of spades.

id be hard pressed to go with the suspects for any reason other than price, or the light flex pattern

hope that helps, pm if you want anything else dude

The AoS Ti (2011) is extremely well built, excellent construction and design, Symmetrical shape and flex, awesome jump ski that can also kill the rails with it's symmetrical shape. Not to mention its pretty light and super poppy, I think it's a highly underrated ski that not many people really think of when deciding on a ski.

Next years Suspect is being made in Austria (instead of China) so it should be much more durable, I've heard a lot of good things about the Suspect and everyone who rides them seems to like them until they explode. Personally, the Suspect needs to prove itself to me before I consider it, but I realize durability isn't something you're concerned with, and since you've already owned them you know about them, other than where they're built they haven't changed.
