Is the 2013 Scimitar the exact same ski as the 2013 Scimitar open?

I am just wondering if the only difference between the two is the top sheet? Obviously the open has a cool top sheet but if I could pick up last years model for less I am still getting the exact same ski correct?

Did a little searching and aside from the tip and tail being increased by 1mm I'm wondering if the shape profile has changed. They obviously did something aside from not making a sub par graphic like with recent ski such as the S7 ect. and instead actually made a cool graphic for the open. Is the graphic the only change really or do they ski a little differently with the size increase?

They come in different sizes. This years Sickle and Scimitar open only come in sizes up to 181 unfortunately. Not sure if it still holds true but my 186 Sickles and most Rossi's I've encountered run about 2 to 3 cm short. I understand that it is marketed as a jib ski but there seems to be growing interest in these skis. Hopefully this frees up room for a high 180's or low 190's size for next year.
