Atomic Infamous or Punx?

So I want to buy a new setup to use for the couple weeks left in this season. I'm stuck between the Punx or the Infamous. I'm a big guy, 6' 1", 200lbs and I prefer med sized jumps and just jibbing things in the park, Nothing too crazy. I really like the look of the Infamous but I see a lot of comments on the poor durability. I know they are both super fun and light skis but I like how the infamous are supposed to be really soft and I also like the design of the Infamous better. If I get the Infamous will they last me all of next season and more, or should I just go with the Punx?

I know there have been a lot of Infamous vs. Punx threads but most of the guys on here are a lot shorter and lighter than me and can send it off of large features. Thanks!

I know enough to know you shouldn't get an Infamous if you want it to last longer than the end of the season. Especially with how big you are. You'll be fine on a Punx.

I just picked up the 2014 Punx and they're pretty sick. Super durable, really light, and surprisingly good all over the mountain. I've heard good thugs about the Infamous, but I'd never get them with the durability issues. You can check out this years versions if you search "Atomic 2015 Alpine Skis" on Google, the Punx and Infamous are towards the middle of the PDF. I think the 2014 Punx look better than the 15s, but the 2015 Infamous look better than the 14s. As far as I know, everything the same on them (14 vs 15 ) except for appearance.
