Default V2 150skate or combi for skating?

Hi,

I’m looking to get new shafts to replace my V2 150s and am trying to
decide if I should get skate or combi ones . I’m 6ft2, 180lbs and
mostly skate, with occasional double-poling and single-sticking, but
never diagonal striding. I’ve had both kinds of V2 150s (the old blue
combis and red skates), and the combis seemed more directionally
stable (more like the long snow ski) whereas skate ones were more
maneuverable but “squirrely”. Since I’ve stuck with my skate ones for
the last couple of years (broke the fork on the combis), I can’t
compare them side by side. Do you folks have any observations – effect
on technique, wheel drop, etc. I know there are lot of people who
don’t like this line of V2s to begin with because of weight, but I’d
like to stick with pneu wheels. Plus I have speed reducers that I
believe should fit the new shafts.

Thanks!
