They are pretty different skis, as the atomic punx are soft, while the ar7s are pretty stiff.
If you like to butter around, then go with the punx and if you want a ski that can carve on groomers at higher speeds go with the ar7s.

Afterbangs suck shit, when it starts to rain they weigh about 1000 POUNDS!

But well worth it. I would discourage you from getting the punx, as they have terrible durability (noticeably the edges and they lose their camber quickly).

Mine are holding up fine but my buddies got thrashed but I'm pretty sure that's him because it's his second broken pair this year. I love the Punx, they are soft and playful but they hold up really well for me at high speeds and off trail as long as the snow isnt super soft.

definitely punx, with your weight the ar7 might be to much for you depending on how you ski.
