Hello Tom. This is a comparison that has been raging on since both were released last year. The long and short of it is, the only thing both have in common is how much float both skis have and how playful both are playful depending on the skier and how they ski. The JJ is a poppy, light ski which feels as if it bounces in each turn and has a nice light swing weight for tricks and spins. The S7, on the other hand, is definitely heavier and a little more of damp ski. Overall, if you are a lighter skier or a skier that likes jibbing more than hard charging, the JJ is the way to go. If a skier is a little on the heavier or more powerful side and likes hard charging over throwing tricks, the S7 would work best. Also, for the hardest chargers, Rossignol has produced the "Super 7." This 195cm version of the S7 has a 117mm waist which gives it more float and a little less sidecut and metal laminates in its construction for a very damp feel.
