Ethan, The width of the F1 RS is narrower than the Ridge Pro. The Ridge Pro has a boxy fit, so if the midfoot width was only an issue on one side, it could be an anatomical shape issue rather than an overall width issue. Feel free to dive in deeper with our bootfitter:  here

Hey Will and Andrew, Check out these aftermarket Zeppas:  here

Justin, The color differences where Grilamid with Fiberglass and Pbax meet will require a careful touch when punching, but should be doable in small amounts. It is very likely co-injected, but we have not fully verified that.

Hi Carmel, The canister is high-strength chromium-molybdenum steel. Manufactured to DOT-3AA standards. Hope this helps!

Hey Daniel, I can relate to the concerns about the flat tail; it's the reason I ski a lot of DPS and Voile skis. These will release much more easily, especially in variable snow. They are about 120 grams lighter per, so better on the up, but won't dampen quite like the TX94. The mount point on the 179cm is -12, but between the amount of rocker and the shorter turn radius, it can still turn very quickly. We generally use the factory-recommended line on these DPS skis, and it seems to suit most folks.
