Excellent answers guys, much appreaciated!
"SHY" is just the initials in my name, there are girls that have given the same comment in the past
I'll stick with the X-5 and XX-4 this season, since it's well underway. But I will for sure consider the S4 or Aero next year. I have faith in Atomic Carbon being professional (like JC and X-Factory). But I must admit I find the Durango/Aero layout slightly more appealing (Durango being impossible to get hold of I presume). Here in Norway there's nothing close to "blue groove" and with b/l performance is not a problem, so I'm not worried about the shaft being slightly angled.

-here's an article about the Durango, at the end you see how you change batteries. Bit of a hassle but not more than 2-3 minutes work.
BUT: placing a GTB or similar...impossible? How does the S4 accomodate our new beasts?
