Well, if you are looking for a bit of a fatter ski that will feel similar to your Legend Pros of 2007/2008, then you may feel right at home here. One thing though, these only like going straight. So, if that is your thing then give 'er a go. The K2 ObSethed would be a similar feel float-wise. It will like turning a little more and would be easier on your legs overall, but it may not absolutely plow gnarly crud or point it like the XXL can. As for the Czar, it's a strange animal. If you spend nearly all of your time off-groomed, you will love it because of the amount of tip rocker giving you a comfortable balance point. If you are on groomers half the time, you will hate it for the exact same reason. You should also look at the Rossignol S6. It is basically the same as last year's Steeze and it is really versatile for its width. Finally, for overall pow skis, it will depend on where you are skiing and what you like to ski. The best pow skis right now have a fair amount of rocker (reverse camber) in them, but keep in mind, the more rocker in a ski (More rocker would be the Armada ARG, less rocker would be the Salomon Lord), the less prone it is to harder snow. I would suggest the K2 Pontoon if all you are skiing is powder and that is it on a given day. If you have to take groomers to get to/from the pow, look at the Rossignol S7.
