We went with the Phase5 Scamp for my son. He's 9 years old buy only weighs 55 pounds. We're still working on getting him up on it, so no solid reviews yet. Maybe tonight will be the night!
Before he was trying to us my Wife's 4'8 Ronix Caption and it was just way too big for him to muscle. He is definitely going to do better on the Scamp with it being I think 11" shorter.
He loves it and thinks he's the 'cool kid'
For me, the deciding factor was price and availability. Wakemakers sells them for $279 and with a 10% forum discount you're in at $251 with no tax and free shipping (plus I had a store credit at WM that I needed to use up). So not
that much more than the Vic. I live a few hours away from Wakemakers, so fedex had the board at my house in less than 24 hours from when I ordered it.
Wakemakers sold out of them again though...
