Bump and gamble. The fineries will still be here and hopefully spring will have disappeared by then.

Snow is disappearing fast in town if that's what you're asking about. There's 150 cm at the daylodge. Be forewarned temps have been springlike for ten days so no pow like 2-3 weeks ago.

30 cm dry new above t-bar Saturday seems to be settling out from being reactive yesterday. A very good day, lots of people out. Almost snow/rain at daylodge but was snowing when we left.

Actually, Meathelmet, I have no axe to grind and have no hostility. I think my questions were legitimate, and to all manufacturers, which is why I asked them.
Thanks for your comments, though.

Mine are set to 7.5 and one of my skis didn't released in a size 2 that buried me. And I never use pole straps.

I don't see how your tests can be valid without skis or snowboard on the dummy. A test that is as close to reality as possible is worth the extra time, or why do the testing at all?

Try them both if you can before you buy. There's no best, only best-for-you. Like skis and boots.
