Hey Jim, glad you're liking the Peaks. I skied them for a day this past spring, and was really impressed. Amazingly smooth at speed.
Actually, it just occurred to me that you've had almost as much of a quiver change as Gary. Head Magnum....Watea 84....Ski Logic....Progressor 800....Peak 84....did I forget one or two pairs? 
Pot calling the kettle black, ole Jimmy-boy? 
How about writing a review or two on some of the newest ones....?
If I write a review and say I like it, then I get in "Gary trouble" if I find I don't care for it.
Peak 84. Bought in August cause Phil had a great deal. Had demoed the year before in a 170, really liked it. Only one day, but seems to do all things pretty well. I like the overall feel better than my iM78's, but that is me and not necessarily the skis.
Progressor 8. Bought last spring, post season, cheap (see the pattern?). I felt like my Super Shape Magnums had lost their camber and were no longer skiing well. They feel really versatile, and are my primary east coast ski. Soft enough to bend at slow speeds, but still holds an edge when skied faster. I like the turn initiation from the dual radius sidecut, and its getting hard to find "easy" narrow waisted (74mm) skis.
Ski Logik Ullr's Chariots. I still like this ski for an all around day when there has been 10 inches or more of snow. Haven't skied it since the 10-11 season, since I didn't cross paths with powder last year. Besides, they're dam pretty and have my moniker on the tail.

Watea 84. Retired for the Peak 84. I missed the local ski swaps this year, but will be able to sell it for at least 1/2 of the cost of it's replacement. (thanks Phil).
One pair per year for the past three years, all used for more than one year?
Progressor-Peak84 is east coast quiver.
Peak 84-UC is western quiver.
I am sure that there are better skis in all three of these categories than the ones I have, but I don't need perfect skis. I'm OK with pretty good skis at great deals.
Oh, and making sure Lynn has an equally matched quiver.
