Hey guys, first post here, hoping you can help me out with some advice. This seems like a great community.

years riding: 2
skill: intermediate
style: all mountain (very very little park)
location: East coast (NY/PA/VT)
weight: 160
height: 5'9
boot: 10.5
usual board size: 154-156

Hope I'm following the forum rules here. Been renting for a couple years and figured it's time to buy my own ride. I've narrowed it down to these 2 choices because based on what I've been reading about them they suit my riding style. However, the GNU is about $200 more than the Quiver Killer. Both have about the same flex, capita is probably heavier and has traditional camber. AG is lighter hybrid camber w/ that magnetraction (bs?). I also love the graphics on the AG this year :-P

Do you guys have any opinions on the 2? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Probably going to be ordering one of the 2 this weekend. Thanks!
