V or Senate?

Connelly V or Radar Senate(non C): Which one for a 34mph 22-28 off skier? Familiar with the Senate, but not with the V.

Why those two, isn't the vise generally considered to be a much better budget 34mph ski?

I am not familiar with the V but the Senate and Vice are great skis. I think kfennell is correct in recommending the Vice. Horton rode it a few days ago and was very impressed.

I have experience with the Connelly V and Senate C. For my style, the Senate shape is a far superior 34mph -22 ski (my current ability level). I only use the V for 30mph wide-ride (where it is very comparable to the Radar Theory). I do not like the V at 34mph - I find it to be kind of a whale to turn but plenty fast across the wakes. Do some demos, enjoy the shopping experience - but for my money I'd go with the Radar.

You may want to look at the Ho Coefficient X if you are interested in the stepped bottom ski designs, it would be closer in width to the senate shape.

Thanks Greg for the comparison and info!
