Ronix or Slingshot

Hey guys looking for some opinion here. I am in the market for a new wakeboard and I am having difficulty deciding. I have always riding a traditional board and was going to go with the 2011 Ronix Ibex ATR (I absolutely love the design/graphic and have always ridden Ronix). However, my brother has been riding a slingshot response and says that the flex is where its at. I know there is another thread about flex behind boats and I read all the posts in there. I wish I could test out both boards to see which one i liked riding more. Like I said, I have always used a traditional board so I don't know how I would adapt to the flex board. I live in NJ and my brother lives in Wisconsin so I can't exactly just go try out his board haha. I do prefer the Ronix design over any flex board design I have seen.

Thoughts?
