Michael you may want to try the 2007 Fischer Worldcup RC with the Flow Flex plate, it is kind of a cross between the Worldcup RC universal plate and the RX8 as you described them. I have never skied the RX8 (I plan to!) but I own both a pair of 2005 (there for sale) and 2007 RC's (both in 175cm). The new Flow Flex gives the RC a somewhat softer and rounder flex as well as being less fatiguing, easier to initiate turns, more turn shape variety and more forgiveness without the loosing grip or stability. I bought the 2007 with the intention of strictly racing them but they will probably become my every day ski. Give them a try, with the changes they made you may even consider going with the 180cm.
