The funny thing about that ebay add is buddy's cut-and-paste job, where he actually says that these things are prone to break the tail. Now that makes me want to pay $900! Plagiarised from http://www.alpinecarving.com/boards.html. Hilarious!

Lots of great information here - thanks for all the responses everyone!

Hi folks, I'm looking to get into hardbooting via the used market. I'm 6'0'' 160 lbs, mid-intermediate, currently a wannabe soft boot carver on a 10-yr old Burton Custom 160cm. Foot size is mondo 27 (9US) I'm no speed demon, and not looking to be. Prefer the groomers to the steeps and my board stays on the snow, no air for me. Small east coast hills mostly. I'm guessing something along the lines of a Donek Axxess or Prior ATV or 4WD is what I'm keeping an eye out for, but I need guidance on sizing. Prior's weight charts indicate a 167cm ATV or a 164 (120-185lbs) or 169 (140-200lbs) for the 4WD. Thoughts? Any thoughts on sizing the Axxess? I see the Axxess and 4WD is 21.5cm, the ATV is 23.5cm. Here's a question: for the best balance of price and customization should I just bite the bullet and get a 23cm Axxess made? Of course I should - so could I soft boot that for a year on that and then get into the boots/bindings in next season's budget? Or vice-versa? Thanks for weighing in!
