Volkl ac3 or K2 shockwave?

[autonomous]

Hello there. I saw both today at a shop and understood what the salesman was saying. Do any of you have any opinions on either? BTW, I'm an upper int/low adv that loves to ski the edge crud and make slalom turns. I love to feel every quick turn. I love, but suck in the bumps. Speed is not in the equation for me as I don't go beyond GS turns. Thank you, John.

The AC3's are tanks. I absolutely loved them in the hardpack and ice. Moguls...not so much.

I ski the AC3's and love them. They hook-up for me. But so have the K2's I have demoed. Demo them to be sure. I would also suggest looking at the Volkl Kendo. The Kendo is a more forgiving version of the Mantra. It may work for you. It is very quick edge to edge and all in all a lot of fun.
