In fact the AC20 dimensions are closer to the old AC3 so it's probably still a lot of ski and something that you can grow into.

I'm all about keeping it real.

The rep at my local shop has been steering me towards the AC30. Maybe because they don't have any AC 20s in stock. I would lean towards your assessment since you have skied with me while the rep has not. The 30s are 80 something underfoot which is why I was leaning towards them. The 20s as you know from that link you posted are 74 underfoot. I'm going to do my best to find a place to demo them. Not pulling the trigger until after the X-Mas. I love gift cards.
