Agreed... I have these skis and used them for all but two runs this year and really enjoyed them.

because I own legend 8000 (even probably little to loan in 179) buying Watea 84 looks like duplication to me
o2gear has 84 and 94 in all other sizes for less plus free shipping.
Wow, good prices there and those are this seasons skis as opposed to the Tramdock version which are last years.
That powder hull on this years version does make the ski a little more floaty than last years version. I've skied both.

now you see my problem....great ski 84 or 94 for good price will be under 300 with my binding and I don't have to sleep in the garage :flame: ;-)
I say get the 94 in the 178, the small swallow tail make it ski a little shorter than the older version. It might be a little stiffer than you were expecting, but it'll make a good tree/pow ski. Hard to pass up for the price. If you don't like it you can always sell it for little loss.

how about W84?
Should I add it to B2 and legend 8000? It looks to me all 3 in somewhat similar category/performance. W84 will be 167

....at first no... no ....no....not right for you...:uzi: now we go full circle
if I don't like it unlikely will be selling......then definitely will have to move to garage
Hard to pass up for the price===> exactly
Well if you want it for bumps, I'd pass. Trees, powder and crud. Go for it. Maybe 170 if you want to be able to swing it around faster. I'm talking about the 94. I think there's too much overlap in the 84 with your 8000's. No powder hull in the 84 either.
Good deals can make us do and say silly things. Even at that ridiculously good deal I still don't think the Watea 94 is the ski that you're looking for, though I'd still be tempted if I were you.

soft bumps only spring time and day after storm ....concrete bumps at WaWa never looks appealing to me. realistically speaking crud powder and trees in order of importance
You're such an enabler... :lol:

QUOTED FOR TRUTH. Don't buy the wrong ski for you just because it is a good deal. :-o I think if you review the comments posted above prior to the comments on the price, there is essentially complete agreement that the characteristics you are looking for will not be found in the Watea 84 and especially not the 94 based on your experience with the L8000.Good deals can make us do and say silly things. Even at that ridiculously good deal I still don't think the Watea 94 is the ski that you're looking for, though I'd still be tempted if I were you.
And thanks for the heads up on o2gear. The W94 has been one of my top considerations for a touring rig based on my experiences with the Atua.
