I have a Capita! Stairmaster Extreme from this year and i love it, i work at a shop so ive ridden quite a few 2011's so ill do a little review.

Lib Tech Banana Magic- Awesome board, slidey yet stable due to the c2, all around good all mountain board, the magne traction with the c2 is a dream with Horsepower.

Lib Tech Attack Banana- Better than the Banana Magic, extremely fast, more cambered with its Ec2 desgin, super fun board.

Capita! Stairmaster Extreme- My favorite 2011 board, lots of camber and a medium stiff flex makes one poopy park board that will devour anything out of the park also. Paired with Union Forces and its incredible

Capita! Indoor Survival- Flat Kick make is feel like just a piece of dead wood out of the park

Capita! Outdoor Living- More Camber than Stairmaster Extreme, but not as stiff making it less poppy imo

Burton Nug- not digging it at all. way too much rocker on way too short of a short board.

I didnt like any Rome either.

Final thoughts- Capita! Stairmaster Extreme is the best board ive ever ridden and i love it
