Replying to ARV or Kartel Series?

It’s already August and I’m starting to think about new whips for this season. I’m caught between the ARV and Kartel series. I’ve always been a big Armada fan but I’ve been pretty hyped on everything ON3P has done lately. Obviously I’d save money by going the ARV route especially with clearance deals from last years models, but I’m all for supporting smaller brands that are more in the hands of actual skiers. Quality, performance, and durability are of top priority. Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated.
