Hi Todd
The MX 78's were not for me. Too stiff and heavy. Too damp.
Ditto on the Vists. Though the fact they were about at least 6cms too long for me may have
played a part in that feeling.
OTOH, I acknowledge that I am very used to light, softer skis.
Not sure if over time, I would "grow" into these kinds of skis.
I do know that my arches, feet? and ankles were working way hard than usual with these skis.
Progressor 8's are what I really want to demo. Svend's wife Terryl, pm'd me with her review and personal feedback. It might be my cup of Joe!
I did really like the Elan 
(forgot the name already!) at Elk. Felt damp, but tipped easily and turned snappily. Plowed thru piled up soft, crud
like nothing. Very smooth overall.
The Dynastar Speed Magic? also was very nice. Felt lighter and a bit softer, but excellent grip on hardpack, did well in crud.
Would love to try a SS out in my size. Hard to find these days. Very few of the shorter lengths in general.
It was fun watching you 3 guys with the same size boots switch and try out each others skis!
And a mounting point that was 1cm forward might have made a world of difference as well.
