I'd recommend calling Head. It's true the 2012-13 Head catalog doesn't label the Mya 7 as "ERA 3.0", but does use that term for other skis in the Mya line. However, it costs companies a lot of money to significantly change production methods, so there's a good chance the 2013 and 2014 skis have the same rocker profile and use of Intellifibers, and that Head decided, purely for marketing reasons, to add the "ERA 3.0" label to the Mya 7 in 2014. [OTOH, the Head engineers sometimes make source material substitutions between model years even in so-called identical skis, which can change their characteristics. So, I suppose to be sure, you'd want to determine if the Mya 7 that HH liked so much was a 2013 or 2014 model.] If they turn out to be the same, you'd want to focus on condition and days of use.
