One trick pony. If you have mad $$ to throw away on riding pipe, knock yourself out.

Hm...that's a lot of money to spend on a used board on Ebay...but if it's your thing go for it.

is this board butter? basically does this board perform that much better than something else, where it justifies spending that much money on it?

not that I know of...it's just really light. Also I don't think the waist is wide enough to accomodate your size 12 boots either.

I was under the impression that it would... somewhere down the grapevine, I heard that it was wide enough, but IM going to take a look at it in person .... Ill let you all know!

Indeed the vapor is wide, but not that wide. I just got back from seeing the beast of a board in person. Its fucking perfect. but not perfect for me, or anyone who goes anywhere close to the park. the guy said that they had over 20 of them come back last season all from being fu@k#d from the park. I didnt know it was that bad, but if your looking for a light board to tear up the slopes and only the slopes this board is well worth the money. either way I'm going with a custom X this season its bloody fu@kin$ awesome!!!

All I can say is demo before you buy.
I'm confused ... what type of riding are you planning on doing with this new board?
The NS Titan is a beast... Free ride only & not for the faint of heart.
The Burton boards you've mentioned are "all mountain free style" big difference.
biased upon your screen name I'm thinking you'll just buy a Burton.
