Default 2004 Head Monster iM85's or 2004 Salomon Scream 10 Pilots HOT

I bought some 2004 Head monster iM85's 178cm for skiiing this winter,
but a great deal came up on some 2004 Salomon Scream 10 Pilots HOT
175cm now I'm torn what to do.

I need some help on which ski is better for me, I am 6 feet 175lbs.
I've been skiing all my life, I can pretty much ski anything and ski
it well. I typically ski off-piste and moguls. What I'm concerend
about is the Monsters are heavy and I think moguls will be very hard
with them. But looking at the other side, the Pilot 10's might get
tossed around in the off piste snow.

And an even better deal will likely come up soon.
Don't buy anything else if you haven't demoed it.
Consider skiing the Heads and see if you like them.
Heavy is more of a problem carrying them to the lift
than it is riding them down the pitch.

Yes they might. Stay the course.
One pair is lighter than two.
178cm will turn fine in the moguls.
Screams are too floppy for me.
