A few seasons ago, bent chetlers were the shit. I was gonna get a pair cause they were exactly what I was looking for but never got around to it. I don't keep up with gear anymore there anymore so don't know anything. what's a great ski in the same class and "better" than bent chetlers? should I still get bentchetlers?

I haven't skied them but ON3P Caylors have similar specs and are very highly regarded by lots of people who have skied them. Salomon Rocker 122s are kind of similar and again those who have them rave about them. 4frnt YLEs are another option.

Wow could that be any more vague?

You didn't even say what about the bents you liked if anything, nor did you list what your intended use is.

I can confirm Caylors are a fine ski and the r2s are nice skis too. But having skied both back to back I would have to say Caylors are the superior ski. Before I bought my Caylors, I looked at the Chets. But I opted for the Caylors because I knew I'd appreciate their stiffer flex, and being a bigger guy, I was worried I'd find the Chets too soft in certain situations. To be honest I couldnt be more satisfied with my Caylors, I've now spent >100 days on them, so heres a loose collection of my thoughts: -http://aslansskiblog.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/on3p-caylor-ski-review.html?m=1 (sorry about the clicky, or lack of it, I'm on mobile)
