ok so heres the deal I am looking for a bit of a wider do it all ski. I am 6'1 135 pounds. Want something that can hold up on groomers but also hold its own in the park and pow.

And yes I have read many reviews on both but just looking for more opinions

thanks

Sir Francis Bacon is a much better all mountain ski in my opinion, although both are great skis, if you have an opportunity to demo either or both skis do it, its worth the money

If you were going for more off the trail I would say JJ but the SFB's will be better for all around
