Hey Mike...what I meant was that with the MX78 I went from pretty flat mounted (Marker Griffin) to 32mm riser and more Delta with the Head binding...made a monumental difference in performance of that ski. 112 (not 115, sorry)  underfoot is the waist of the DPS.

Actually the MX and FX perform different in two major respects....the FX is much more tolerant in bumps, crud, off piste...due to more compliant shovel and tail....and the additional width with no progressional side cut allow the ski to be skied much easier flat when necessary making it more predictable. What I really like though is that when pedal to the metal is applied, the FX response not far behind that of the MX.....where the MX gets the advanatage is in it's "wanna go fast" performance.

I do still have a soft spot and great desire to ski the DPS112 in crazy pow snow days....but you're right...how often do we get THAT lucky...still...it's my deep snow "binky"! 

AND yes...one other sport where the "right" equipment comes to mind Mike....golf....the other evil addiction! 

Best, G
