Dynastar D-Stinct

[back2ski]

Anyone have experience with this ski? Comparison to the K2 OneLuv or TrueLuv, Vision 70, Soloman Scrambler 8, Atomic 9-18 puls, or ?? Considered Volkl 4* but figure it's too much ski for me.
I'm a heavy, tall woman at probably level 4 or maybe 5 skiing in the midwest, usually small hills.
Thanks

I thought I was fairly familiar with the Dynastar line (I have 4 pairs, most a couple of years old) but I have not heard of this model. Where did you see it?
Here's a good website for finding info:

Here's another review. Is this a men's ski? I'd highly recommend you consider a women's ski... built for we pear shaped goddesses.

Thanks, I saw that review, but it's for the D'Stinct Plus, wider ski. Here's the pic of the one I'm looking at (for about a $100 less then this site) but I can't find any reviews probably bc it's so new.

For intermediate skiers who want to have a high
performance and safety ski which makes progress
easy.

And here's a site that compares it to competing skis, but I don't know how reliable their choice of competition is.

Here's another I was looking at, but it's probably too short.
ROSSIGNOL COBRA SL WOMEN'S ALPINE SKIS. LENGTH=162 SIDECUT=112-69-95. RADIUS=16M. MODEL YEAR=2005/2006. BINDINGS= SALOMON C509.

any thoughts on the D'Stinct or the rest of the list? Do Solomon's have a generally bad rep?

D'Stinct is a men's ski. My husband has them and loves them. Says they handle really well over all, especially on pow days.
