^ dumbass. There is much more difference between the Scratch FS and regualar Scratch than the topsheet graphic. Sure it's got the same shape, but as far as core material and flex goes, they are different skis. The Scratch FS has got THC core, which has three core materials, wood and I don't know what. The Scratch basic has got softer flexing wood. If you are a more advanced rider, go for the FS it will respond quicker. It is a more agressive ski than the Regular. If you aren't really comfortable with your riding (be honest) get the Wood core. More forgiving. And if you ever like to ski bumps or lay out some hard turns the FS is better than the Eco for sure.

from rossi site:

THC
A composite 3-material core:
• Isocore: liveliness and lightness
• Wood: responsiveness and ski/snow contact
• Microcell: shock absorption

the wood core is just wood and probably a triax fabric (probably no stringer or anything, either) so that's why it's super cheap comapred to the FS

Shut up Powder Canuck. he didn't ask about the performance of the ski. he asked how we feel about the graphics... meaning he is gonna get skis based on graphics. don't be a dick man.

Nickf is right, i'v narrowed it down to those two skis through performance and it doesn't matter too much to me about which of the two i get so now it comes to graphics and i agree that performance is the most important part
