to aid in answering your ?, unless sponsored by a board company and you get free gear, I'm assuming that your like most people, you buy it, it needs to last a few years until you can afford to upgrade to something cool, new and different. DNA is more expensive, and although slightly lighter and more reactive as is previously mentioned...the core/wood is prone to cracking. Again, if not using on obstacles or coming down from Chad Sharpe type double up, shouldn't be a problem, but do you really want to replace a $500 board in a year or two because it's broke and worthless?
