which one carves better?

This may be a stupid question but I am a bit behind on board design. Comparing the Burton custom flying V 2012 and the Burton barracuda 2012 which one would be the better carver on hard snow?

Unless I’m terribly mistaken, the barracuda should be a much better carver.  It has a S-rocker shape which is rocker from the nose to the front binding, then camber on to the end of the board.  The barracuda is also stiffer and freeride orientated.  The custom flyin v is a softer flexing and more forgiving board designed for all mountain riding.

If u want hard carving, the barracuda should be better than the custom
Out of all of Burton’s boards, (excluding the vapor which is over $1000)
The custom x is probably the hardest carving board of them all!
