Yup, I have the RF mounted on my 82's and I can rip a mean line with them. It takes a few runs to adjust but once you get the feel, the sandwich construction-vertical walls can carve some mean turns for sure. If you want versitility, then there's no point in going to a ski with mid 70's underfoot. Personally, I ski my Supershapes in almost everyhting but if it gets sloppy and wet or over 8" then the 82's come out. Otherwise there's just too much cross-over with a ski that's in the 70's and not enough advantage when it gets real heavy or deep.
