Don't know anything about the Xenon 9.0 but I was very interested in the i.m.78 -- never had a chance to test drive it, however.
I'd take a good look at that Nitrous... I'm skiing the '05 SUV12 (115/70/99 - no metal) and it's handled any frontside condition (and the occasional foray into easy trees/bumps) with flying colors. Super high quality. I would buy Nordica again in a heartbeat.
