I have the 2014 version and they are really good so far (only used them a day and that was on dryslopes) from all my skis I like them the most for all around skiing but depending on what you ski (park, all mountain). they are a really good ski but i prefer the afterbangs more for park. I would try and get a deal for your skis if i were you. ( I have gotten skis from line for half off before) but you should get them if you have the money
