Had arrows on my 09 nytro and tuners on my 2011 ape, both good ski's don't really think you will lose with either. I'll give my vote to the tuners with 6" carbides inside and outside just because thats my current setup and it works very well!

Tuners are based on the Arrows... pretty similar IMO

Having run multiple ski's on my Vector LTX including , Stock ski's, C&A Razors, SLP Tri keel, Arrow's for 3 years ( they are not the same as tuners ! ) The Arrow has some advantages to the construction. Its Banana shaped much like the SLP's the twin keels are deeper and more tapered and the shape between the keels are tapered also.
They have a new version out and I don't know much about them . From what I have seen looks like they cheapened the ski up !
I have also been running Sly dog powder hounds 7" with Bergstrom triple points and ski savers. This has worked very well and the off trail flotation is 100% better! for now I'm sticking with this . I feel these front heavy Yamaha's need more flotation . It's hard to argue the Snow tracker point. lightens up the steering and wears like Iron and Tracks perfect.
that might your best bet for time and money spent. The reason I've got to try all these ski's is because I have 5 different sleds and over the years I have bought the best ski for the money I could find. My 08 Vector shorty have the Arrows on there because they work awesome and it doesn't go off trail at all

Yeppers aggressive snow trackers on stock skis the best money you can spend for trail riding. I had bergstom triple points but snow trackers much better set up for yamaha sleds. I'm surprised more riders don't know about snow trackers for all brands of sleds.Snowtrackers all the way.

I got to say snowtrackers are hard to beat on my wife's Vector. But if you want 80% of the snowtrackers (which is still 100% better than stock), with actual flotation on the powder with killer looks, I love my Stealth on my Apex.

You guys running the tuners are you still shimming the rears for darting or just running them without shims? I added tuners this summer and am wondering if I try them without shims or go ahead and shim them.

Shouldn't need shims with the tuners.

Mine is not shimmed and works very well that way.
