Thank you, both. I have the Deacon 84 and the Hero Elite Plus. Love the Deacon, have only skied on the Elite Plus once so far, as it was an ex demo/rental that I snapped up at the very end of last season (such that I didn’t get even one run on them until this season). I thought the Spitfire 80 would compete with both with a racier feel, but sounds like not the case.Agree with Noodler--for an nominal 80mm ski, look at the Stockli AX or AR, Liberty V82, the Fischer, Volkl Deacon, perhaps the new K2 Disruption, or one of the Head Super Shapes, etc...
