Default EW Corchia vs Bigfoot deck

Anybody have experience with both of these decks?
from photos they look mainly the same, bigfoot wider and cheaper...

is the difference anything to write home about? i dont care how my board looks aesthetically so besides the beautiful crimson paint on the corchia, how do these decks compare?

I have a cocrhia, and have ridden a bigfoot. They are basically the same thing. I like the corchia, it seems to lock my feet in better.

corchia is 6 layers maple and wrapped in thermoplastic

bigfoot is 7 layers maple

i found it interesting that while the corchia is more expensive than the 'foot, it uses smaller and thus cheaper trucks (i.e, indy 169's vs 215's). so the prices come out pretty much the same

I love the looks of the Big Foot way more than the Corchia. I haven't tested either, but according to looks, I would go with the Big Foot. Looks hot.
