Trying to decide between a pair of Afterbangs or these puppies,...

Trying to decide between a pair of Afterbangs or these puppies, and I have several questions. First, do these have any camber underfoot? Do you guys have the version w/ the marker schizo insert, or do you just have the flat mount skis? Are these skis flexible enough to press and butter? I've been skiing 04 pocket rockets (90 mm underfoot) and love the surfy feel of wider skis, but sometimes the edges will wash out ripping GS turns on east coast ice-will the additional 5 mm underfoot make a big difference or possibly be even better due to better edges (pocket rockets have some dull a-- edges to begin with)? Will the mini rocker reduce the chances of catching an edge when landing spins? Will a 179 in these be any more or less maneuverable than my 175 pocket rockets (I imagine the wood core would make them snappier)? Has anyone heard anything about the marker schizo-good or bad-as they are a motivating factor in getting these? I realize that's a tall order, any info is appreciated. Thanks a lot.

1. Yes, camber underfoot. Rocker on tips and tails only. 2. No, we are not offering the pre-drilled. More options this way. 3. Yes, these are way nice for buttering. Mellow flex and rocker'd tips/tails beg for it. 4. Fresh edges, wood cores, sidewalls...you'll carve 'em. 5. Not sure if rocker helps/hurts landings. Skills and de-tuned edges will. 6. Sturdy cores and mellow rocker mean stable and nimble. 7. Not a bad word heard about Schizo binders. They're solid.
