If you have the ability, demo them obviously, but if you can't (which is understandable, I have nowhere to demo either)...
I can, however, tell you my take on the control:
It's not a bad board by any means, and I've personally enjoyed having it. Unfortunately, it does get a little chattery at speeds, but I don't think it's nearly as bad as some of the previous models. Durability wise, I haven't had any problems with it. It seems to be holding up pretty well. (By the way, you can find them for fairly cheap now... I've seen multiple boards for $200 or less online, plus I picked up mine at a shop for $220 this year (clearance, last year's model)).
Now, onto what I've HEARD about the Antic...
a member of Ride forums who is fairly accurate and seems to be respected stated that the Antic is like the little brother to the Concept TMS (a.k.a. the Yukon in non wide form). The Concept is kind of a "do it all" board from the descriptions, although someone I talked to on the forums made it clear it's a much better all mountain board than a park board.
If you have to choose between the two, I would go Antic personally (or save up and get a Concept TMS). Either way though, they're both good boards from my experience and what I've heard.
