I've made the decision that I'm going to splash out my cash on the Full Tilt Konflicts for next season, although I'm really stuck on what skis to buy. It's between either; the 2014 Atomic Infamous, the 2014 Amplid Syntax or the 2014 Surface LAB 002. I'd really like to try out the Infamous but I've seen a bunch of bad reviews about them de-laminating after one day.

Any reviews or advice would be a great help, and I'll add a little poll for which you think is the better ski.

Cheers guys,
Row

Last years's Infamous were a great ski, and affordable too. Delamming was a big problem though. I doubt with Atomic's size they'll allow the problem to continue in 2015s model, so I'm sure they'll be a lot more durable.

Surface isn't know for their durability, and neither are infamouses, but I'm sure Atomic will fix them. As for the other ones, I have no clue. Are you only looking at these 3 skis? If not, I'd check out the K2 Press and Volkl Ledge. They're super cheap on this site and (other that the Ledge's topsheet) they're both fairly durable.
