S7 in 178cm; 140/110/118 TR: 14.8M
Kung Fujas in 169cm; 133/102/127 TR: 17.9M
Both skis back to back, the S7 runs short (who would of thought huh?), and is only about an inch taller compared to the K2's. (178vs169cm)
Flex:
S7: medium tip and tail, stiffest underfoot, fairly consistent throughout.
K2: Medium in the tip, soft in the tail, stiff underfoot.
Basically I'm trying to decide between these two skis as I have the opportunity to get either for ~500$ with bindings (in 2012 models). Looking for a playful, fun ski for all conditions. Since I'm lightweight ~110#, 5'4", level 7-8 depending on conditions, quite aggressive for my weight though (despite this I still want a fun ski). Only have a couple concerns with each ski which isn't allowing me to decide between the two 
.
Obviously with the S7 it would be it's hard snow performance, from what I've read they say they can rail on hard snow or they say they are decent, just at my weight do I need to be as concerned? Obviously almost everywhere else the S7 performs well, at my weight do I need to be concerned with it being to soft for crud? (I don't think so but I might be wrong). Lastly how do they perform in bumps? Since they're so nimble I don't think it should be a problem. Couple things I like about the S7 though is the centered sidecut, resulting in a tight radius, more slalom turns (which is good for what I want), much more consistent flex compared to the K2's, and also they feel lighter.
As for the K2's I believe they will perform better on hard snow (would love to be wrong though XD). The inconsistent flex isn't really a bad thing, if anything it would give the ski for versatility for snow conditions. How would the K2's compare to the S7's in tight spots and quick turns (basically maneuverability), be that in trees, bumps or quick turns on-piste. And float, I have this strange feeling that since it doesn't have as much rocker in the tip or the pin tail that it won't float nearly as good, or even good for that matter, especially compared to the S7, so how do they perform in powder?
So yeah, I got a lot of question between the two, hopefully you guys could help me out. So between the two I basically want a ski that will work good to great in most conditions, but excel more in trees and tight spots, but also still have quick perform on-piste.
If you have anymore questions feel free to PM me or just post them. And thanks for reading this far, I know I got a lot questions, hopefully you guys can help me make a choice :).
