It's going to come down to preference for you. This year Armada gave the Pipe Cleaner the AR-50 construction and it still has a race base but is pretty stiff. You'll be happy with either, get the AR7 if you want a little bit more playful ski, get the Pipe Cleaner if you will take care of the base and don't mind a stiffer ski.
