yes, I have ridden both. I would describe the premier as having a "lighter" feel and the board acts a bit possessed by the way it pulls itself straight. Not that I didn;t like the premier but my board of choice is my Balance 140 which seems to give me more pop and I feel more in control and less like I have training wheels. I've also ridden the smaller Balance quite a bit and at my weight, over 200 lbs, I feel that I am overpowering the board when landing.

I agree with Ryan. My local board shop will let you demo boards and later apply the demo charges to buying a board when you find what you like. Shop around and see if your shop will do the same

ive also ridden both and i think the balance has more pop than the premier but it is also more grippy.. i like a loose feel so i ride the premier finless

The Balance is more like a trip, but with a twist....
The premier is alot looser, with a smoother pop....
I'd say demo, back to back.... Wink
