Damn, it looks like some deals there. Honestly, I don't know much if anything about specific models; all of those are mainstream, well-known manufacturers, and I genuinely doubt that any of them would be bad.

But I'd bet that there's a wide variety of characteristics represented there, and how you narrow that selection down will depend on what you personally want out of skiing.

Big turn radius vs short, floaty in powder vs quick edge-to-edge on groomed, stable at high speed vs easy to snake through trees, etc.

Seriously, don't get caught up in paralysis via analysis -- you may be overthinking, and what the hell, it's only money if you pick the 'wrong' one.

For good advice, though, I'd always recommend EpicSki. Here's a link to a thread discussing skis for an intermediate skier that specifically mentions the Head Rev 78s (I just did a search for 'Head Rev 78' in the 'Ski Gear Discussion'). Dunno if that will help, or just be more info overload, but there it is.
