my .02 says that the goats are head and shoulders above the scratch bcs, but thats just me.

I wonder if any of those ^^^ guys have skied both - not that they are wrong. I have skied both and I think they ski very similarly - the scratch is easier to turn on the hardpack which could translate into a small negative in the deep. The extra width on the gots would be nice but if you are looking at the 185 scratch vs the 183 gotoma the difference in surface area probably isnt going to be to all that substantial for flotation.
Here is a thread of the weight of the scratch

I dont know about the weight of the gots. From what I recall they are similarly flexed also- but I have not had the opportunity to flex them side by side. On second thought I am thinking that the scratch might be a little stiffer but this is just based on my memory which is questionable sometimes...
