Buying a board = $$$

OK, This year I'm finally planning on buying my own board... only here in Belgium Boards = $$$ What do you guys pay for boards like in the following list ? The price here is mentioned and are these boards any good ? Scott Eclipse atz = 500 $ Scott Zentris = 400 $ Bindings ... Scott Q-st = 160 $ Scott sliding = 135 $

All these are scott but i want to have a relative comparison. And what about the board pack for 310 $ at http://www.blue-tomato.at/ Is this board any good and is this company trustable ? Ad some more boards if you like.

Also for work i'l go to the US next week... are there any snowboard shops in Boston and/or New Orleans ?

Lot of questions... but hey I don't want to blow my money on a mistake.

Before you buy.

Holy great to see someone else that knows about SCOTT. You might not get much of a responce from this group because they don't sell Scott boards in the US anymore. Scott however is being sold in the UK and in Canada. I'm in Canada and I bought last years Scott surface 161. It's basically the Zentris with a different name and different graphics. I've been doing some comparing because I was a little worried at first too but I don't think you have anything to worry about because from what I can tell it's a kick **** board. I don't know what currency those prices of yours are in but I'll let you know that the Surface last year had a sticker on it for $569.00 I picked it up for 40% off this year because the couldn't sell it. I think some ppl are scared because they don't know the name. I talked on the phone with SCOTT and also with the canadian distributor and they gave me all the dirt on the board. Don't worry it kicks ****.

Check out www.scottusa.com and you have to go to the europe link if you want to look up info on the snowboard, but I'm sure you already knew that!
