Yes, I am on the TT's and they are different skis than the RL's. My assumption however has been that they wouldn't play with the flex too much between the TT and the RL. Assuming this I was worried when I read Dawgs review. Flex on the TT's is right on.

They didn't change the running surface flex of the RL, but they dramatically shortened the rear twin tip and added that length to the front to create the RL front; and my understanding is that this part of the ski is overly stiff and that is what throws the ski around in chop.  On groomed slopes you don't feel any difference, but on crud and chop the stiff early rise tip begins to make occasional contact with the piles of snow and throw the skis around.
