Is Head i.sl a good PMTS ski?

Is the following Head i.sl a good PMTS ski?

Head WorldCup Rebels iSL RD SW 160cm

I saw most PMTS people use Head i.supershape.

Based on the specs alone, the i.SL is more similar to the original Supershape than the i.SL RD.

The 'RD' model of the Head iSl is the full FIS Race Ski. The RD has a very stiff race plate underfoot while the non-RD iSL has a softer more forgiving plate, the same binding plate as the original iSS. The standard iSl model is really closer to a KERS iSupershape, just a little stronger on groomers and not quite as versatile off-piste. The RD is a great race ski but you may find it to demanding for skiing PMTS Movements all day.

Forget about the RD unless you can put your hip on the snow at will.

Yes and even the non RD version of the ISL is not the easiest ski to ski. Diana has skied the 160-165 and 170 and said the only one she would get for everyday skiing is the 170. The others are very much like race slalom skis with a little more flex.
