I got a Tranny Finder in a 157 this year and so far I think it's great. Like the two posters above, my board does have wrap around edges and seems sturdy.
I'd say it's not amazing in any particular area except for plowing through soft chunder. It feels rather heavy and damp, which helps in that area. I do think that it's a "good" carver on groomers - one of the better soft boot carvers I have been on. But not as good as my SG Force, or the Burton Vapor that I owned a long time ago.
I rode it in waist-deep champagne powder and found that I did have to lean back a bit, even with the large nose. The shape of the nose made it want to hook and sink in the powder. So, next snow storm, I'll stick to my K2 Cool Bean. But, it was still "good" as a powder board when leaning back a bit.
I recently shifted the bindings forward in the insert packs which made it feel more like a freestyle board as opposed to a true freeride board. It also gave me a longer tail, which seems to help with driving carves off the back foot.
I'm happy with this as a daily driver softboot board. Is it the best board I have ever ridden? No. Is it a good, versatile directional softboot board that can rail carves and pop off side hits? Yes, especially after moving the bindings forward.
