I tried the mod x pro-pretty stiff,the x-screams didnt do much for me-not good on hard snow.I did like the Atomic 9.22s fast and turn on a dime any condition,then I spent a day on the 10.20-what an awesome ski-really really fast and stable-but as always-demo some different pairs b4 you buy and dont rely and anybodyelse's opnion-only your counts!
