Anyone who has any technique will outgrow these skis awfully quick.

I absolutely agree with above. The ski he wants to buy the second year won't be the one he rents year 1.

Glad to hear your assessment of the Pocket Rocket.  I think BR weighs around 200 and didn't know if that was too heavy for the PR or not.

I understand his midfat dilemma, and it will be OK with me whatever he does.  But I would own a primary ski for my primary skiing and rent for where I want to learn, and then buy a second ski next year once I'm past that initial learning curve.  (and I still have my mid-fat K2 Axis X's (107-70-97) that I stopped using to go back to a slalom sidecut).  The K2's were 'pretty good' at everything.
