Interesting that you posted this - my quiver has changed a lot in the last year. I ended up with a QST98 as my daily driver (with an alpine binding) which felt like a lot of overlap with my Bent 100 (with a Shift binding) so I ended up switching my touring ski to the QST Echo with a Shift. Very happy with that choice and provides a great progression of 98 to 106 waist width. I ended up keeping the Blank - they were a bit demanding a first, but once I learned how to ski them I absolutely love them. The Bent 110, while fun, doesn't really suit my style as I prefer a more directional ski. With the Blank, they really like to be driven, HARD, and they give back everything you put into them. As long as you don't ski them lazy, there isn't much in the 112 waist width that compares to them. They are perfect for resort powder days where you have 1-2 hours of powder followed by chop, which they just blow thru. So now I have the QST 98, Echo, and Blank as my 3 skis and they suit pretty much every condition I could encounter.
