One thing I've noticed is the longevity of the core. I have ridden the Absolute for years & love the shape, it used to be that after awhile the core would start to lose its snap and not pop the same (as all foam cores will do). The Platinum has really taken that away and given me a board that will take the punishment of regular use and keep its hard hit. It really does make a difference. If you like the shape, then its worth it for all the positives that you get from Platinum. As any one who has ridden it says, once you try both you will not go back to regular foam. CWB4TODAY & maybe tomorrow haha.
