The more equivalent comparison would have been with the Atomic Crimson Ti, not the Blackeye, but I understand that the situation didn't permit that option.

The Outland series is getting some great reviews from skiers I trust.  I haven't had enough time on them to fully weigh in, but it's been a long time since I genuinely liked a Dynastar.  I hate the new Cham series, but Dynastar has a better formula for success with the Outlands.

Too bad you can't find most of the Scott skis in the USA, but I just had my first day on the Scott Neo (176cm, 83mm underfoot, 14m sidecut) and I think I've found another great versatile ski.  What attracted me to this one was that it has the same profile as my Scott Crusade, but is narrower with the addition of 2 sheets of metal.  I'll post something more on them later this season once I have more time on them.  I had to buy mine from a dealer in the U.K.
