I think the Shane is closest to the Balance. I rode a Balance for 2 years, but was also wanting something with softer landings. I tried the Watson, but it is more like riding the Balance without the center fin; it's a bit loose. The Shane is still looser than the Balance, but when you get it on edge it tracks just like the Balance. The speed is the same (fast), the pop is better, and the landings are oh so much softer. I haven't ridden the PS3.
