I have not skied them. They sound like wonderful skis but I don't think they are what I am looking for. The FX 84's were wonderful skis for what they are designed for but I could definitley overpower them on hard snow. My fear with these would be that I would enjoy them but feel like something was lacking when I pushed to their limit on groomed terrain.

The other thing that I pay alot of attention to is turn Radius. In a 50/50 or any ski where I will use it 50% or more time on groomed terrain, I am looking for ski with a tighter TR. This is one of the reasons that the Head IM 78 is such a great ski. It is stiff enough to hold up well in crud but soft enough to bend the tips and most importantly in the 177 length the TR is 15.5 (that's from memory). I am blessed with my current situation in MT where my home is on the slope. It's almsot like havimg a ski caddie. I can ski 10 different skis in one day, and sometimes do.

I still would love to try most in the Kastle line. Looking forwrad to it.
