I have ridden and owned both the green "14" and the new "16", the 14 was one of my all time favourite skis, I have found the 16 to feel faster, both across course, and carrying more speed through the turn. It is so quick off the back of the ball it's ridiculous, and never have I had a ski turn so symmetrically on both sides, I am particularly impressed on the offside, where the ski doesn't get stuck, it just seems to keep moving even when I drop a shoulder and break at the waist, I ski 55kph, pb 3@13m. I am just starting my season and had around 10 sets on the 68" and it keeps getting better and better every set, there is so much forgiveness and stability it inspires you to have a go for that next buoy, even though you know you shouldn't, but then you turn it and shoot off to the next, I have really enjoyed all my ski's but this one I love, and I can't wait to see what the season has in store for me.
