Blank is more like a fat all-Mtn ski that works really well in all conditions. The 186 has a speed limit and isn’t as plush/stable at speed as the Optic 114 in the same length. Similar personalities, with the Blank being more comfortable in firm conditions and a bit more playful. The Optic is better in deep snow and more stable/more composed at high speed.
Optic has metal and larger turn radius, which reflects the soft snow “bias” and stability difference
In constant pursuit of the perfect slarve...
