Titanium banding. The Prophet series has a titanium strip in the topsheet that extends out to the edges to help transfer edging power over the width of the skis. The blends have a carbon strip in the topsheet. That means that you and going to have a little less stiffness and a little less weight. I've been skiing a carbon-banded Karhu Jak as my backcountry ski(which is made in the same factory as Line skis) and it's super light and flexy for porpoising in powder, but don't try to charge chopped powder with it. Basically, the Blends are going to be a bit more forgiving and flexy, while the Prophets live up to their crud-busting reputation and then some.
