I have da nollies and they speak for themselves. Im always riding park unless I'm out west (haven't taken them out there yet but will this year) and rip these around the rails every day being in MN. I ski 75-80% rails and these babies hold up. Ive hit about 20-30ft jumps (not too many jumps out here) and they perform great as well

Go with the Da'Nollies. One of the most fun jib skis I got on last year, and it floats pretty well in pow as well , especially for a center mounted ski. I haven't skied the Al Dente, but holding them side by side the Da'Nollie feels much superior.

Haven't mounted but I'm going true center as I'll be using them for park about 85-90% of the season. I always mount my skis center normally because living in MN there aren't really any good runs or pow days or anything

They actually changed to a 3 year warranty! No questions asked. Best warranty in the industry.

Thats not true. This is strait from icelantics website:
Examples of what is NOT covered by Icelantic's 3 Year Warranty:
Damage caused by impact, misuse, abuse or neglect. AKA Edge Cracks from hitting rails, boxes, stumps etc...
Scratching or chipping of the topsheet.
Mis-mounts or any issues regarding mounting

I tried the Armada Al dente's but I think that they're too heavy on the feet.

I guess my three buddies and I have gotten lucky then. Weve never been denied warranty in the past 4 or 5 seasons. Our skis usually are more thrashed then what a park skier will do to em too. Blow sidewalls, destroyed bases, edge cracks and pullouts have always gotten us a new set...
