Replying to Blend or Kartel?!

Ive only ridden line skis my few years skiing, and I know their quality isn't the greatest. Ive heard that ON3P is crazy durable and will last for a while. My latest ski was the 15 traveling circus, and i loved the width and how flexy they are. Im torn between the 16 line blends and the Kartels. I like the cartels because they seem to be durable, have the width i want, early rise, and the shape and graphics are perfect. I like the blends because of the width, early rise (not as much as the kartels but enough), the shape and the graphics... The only thing that makes me lean towards the blends is that they are way cheaper than kartels.. any thoughts?
