Can anyone compare from actual experience the Black Diamond Verdict and the mini-Bros?
I am looking for a light ski to mount Dynafits on for longer tours and these are the two finalists. Similar shapes, the Verdict is 128-98-116, so it has a bit more sidecut, and similar weights. I think the Bro is a bit lighter.
Thanks!

Eh... I've never skied (or even flexed) the verdict. But if you want to check out the mini-bros send me a PM and we can meet up.

I've flexed both, the Verdicts are definitely stiffer.

The tail flex can leave a deceptively soft impression on any twin.
To feel the real flex of the core, slip your foot under the tail, then flex.

Dude_le_skibum put up a review of the Verdicts here a while back. Don't know if he has been on the bros though.
