which ski specifically are you comparing? Comparing entire ski lineups is kind of hard...

The question is ridiculous.

I am wondering which soda is better, Pepsi or Coke? I am looking for taste. I know Coke had New Coke and I love their sodas in general but what is the awesome thing about Pepsi?

Armadas will generally be more durable than lines.

ar7's are stiff, but they are very light. Thalls are pretty buttery I have heard(also light). Not sure on the halos though.

I was gonna get masterminds, but then got ar7's because of the durability and better overall performance. They do better all over the mountain while still being buttery and flexy in the park.

For skis definitely, for team, they are more geared towards top performance where line just wants to have fun. Armada usually has almost all of the athletes on the podium where line does stupid stuff and has fun. They are both great in their own ways and I love both, but just because one has better skis doesn't mean the other has shitty skis or a bad team. Line skis are still good skis, just not as high-performance as armada.

Kids are fucking clueless. Line generally uses a thicker edge and base material. Armada spends the bare minimum even though they came out of one of the best factories in skiing(Atomic).

all of Armada's current park skis use a hybrid core, which allows for super solid platform under foot, as well as capped tip and tail, which allows for butters. Lines are made from poor materials, the bases are cheap and slow, and they are more likely to break, due to their cheap production methods that they use in China (where all line skis are built) whereas armadas are built in the atomic factory in Austria, and are designed by a former race ski developer, this means that they are made from better materials, and utilise more effective construction techniques.
