Will-i-am

The debris is not a safety concern. Our water fluctuates a lot and it brings little chunks of bark from the surrounding trees. I am not dodging 4 foot pieces of limber.... I have tried connellys and d3 they do not seem to fit my style of skiing. The Goode is the best ski I have ridden however I cannot afford to replace or refinish the bottom after just a year or two of use. I like the idea that I can buy an elite for half the price I can find razors. I have not tried a Fischer or razor but I have tried a Sixam ss. That is why the elite is on my radar. And everything I have read is that the rtm skis are VERY durable.

I am in need of a new ski for this year. I have narrowed it down to either a used Razor or a used Obrien Elite. 68" Because of debris I really need to go with an RTM ski or something that will not care if it gets beat around or hits wood chunks. I previously rode a 9700 goode until the debris at our lake tore it to pieces. Skied on 9700 for 2 years prior to moving to a new area/new lake. I ski 36mph/28 off My question is which is more like the goode? I am not a very technical skier, I just pull hard. I have been told that I pull like a jumper in the slalom course. Which ski will be better for my 6'1" 215lb frame? I am heavily considering the Elite as the price of them is much lower than the Razor. Is it worth the extra money to go with the Razor?
