^ Wrong Omni dude! Although Signal and Bataleon boards both get a mention in this thread!
@P!P!P! - You're welcome dude, I'm going to get to try my new (Signal) Omni on proper mountain leter this week (woo!) so I'll let you know how it goes.
By the way, TSA Tamworth have the Signal Omni 156, OG 157 and Yes Basic 155 in their demo fleet.

Got back from Les Arcs on Saturday after a week on the Agent Rocker and I've got to say, I love it. It's got stupid amounts of pop for ollying lumps and bumps, is playful and loves to pop little short-radius turns at low speed, great at carving and can easily hold it's own when gunning down a piste. It's not quite as stable at high speed as my old Anthem (but then that's a bit of a plank) but it was never chattery and I didn't feel like it was going to wash out at any point. It's a little skittish when scooting on/off chairlifts, on accounts of the rocker, but nothing major. I'm no good at butters and spins so couldn't tell you much there but I took it off a couple of green kickers in the park and it felt totally stable off the lip and on the landings.
Then, on the last day we got a massive dump of pow so I got a chance to take it through the trees and it ate them up with relish It's easy to turn quickly and change direction when you need it to, and floats well in pow thanks to the rocker.
All in all, I can say I'm totally chuffed with it
**edit: 72kgs, 5'9", size 8 boots (medium bindings) and I've got the 155 board.

I agree with all of the above, though I haven't ridden powder on it yet. It's fine off largish kickers (10 metreish), one thing I did notice was that it is very easy to revert out of a spin but that's often the case on a rocker.
Weirdly I'm almost exactly the same weight, height and boot size as CjKit!
