WELP..... due to current sales and a few discussions with both Jeff Singer at Spruce and Doc over at Summit, I was really torn between the Sherpas and the Summit Invertigos. Doc offered me an additional discount per a certain reference and Jeff has now offered to upgrade my bindings for free to the Attack 13s. I was very intimidated by the 130 cm length vs the 118 of the Invertigos, and I understand that sidewall construction is technically better but the cap design is certainly more durable which is good for a beginner who hasn't skied before and fully plan on taking my share of spills.
In the end, a recent post on the FB group about bindings pulling out of the direct mount and numerous issues with top coats peeling after nicks has me convinced to go with the sherpas (even though they have been out for like 2 years now). I'm usually a tech guy who wants all the newest stuff. worst case scenario I can purchase another board and transfer the riser and binding if need be.
I'm sure I will be happy and just unfortunate that I will get them just as this ski season is ending. Jeff currently has one hell of a deal going on, that is just too good to miss, and I don't know how long it goes for. I don't know if Jeff frequents this site or not, but thank you for all the time and conversations we've had.
