so far i've only stood on the loaded dancer but have ridden the LBL OSD for a while now. it feels a lot nicer (width, nose/tail lift and flex) than the LBL OSD but in saying that, LBL now has a bamboo version of the OSD which might be lighter and livelier. i like the width of the loaded but its way too expensive for my taste. if price is not an issue i would go for the loaded but the LBL also works real nice. its just a bit narrow for some peoples liking. another option would be to ask sugarboards, ugly carnie and bombardier if they could build one for you. im sure they have ideas up their sleeves and would be happy to take the challenge (not that it will be that hard for them to build). my honest opinion about the loaded dancer - nice but overpriced.

I have had a quick go on Nacho's OSD and liked it. Funny you mention a Rogg's. Kyle makes awesome boards, to a very high quality, but you may struggle getting a Rogg's into NZ, especially when there are so many great builders here in NZ ;)

There's so many great options out there. You cant go wrong.

The LBL OSD is the best dancer i've ever ridden. You have soo much space to work with and at the same time you can still shov it and manual etc... very nice board, with the loaded your pretty much paying just for the brand haha. They are good boards but LBL beats them in my eyes!

Uglie Carnie noserider! Soo much wider than the OSD and pretty light for it's size.
Not sure if jestah has enough time to make one though...

It's the one at the top of the pile in this vid:

sooo many ideas,

And at the moment money is a tad of an issue so the loadeds probably out of the picture....
How heavy is the OSD? is it dificult to lift into a manual and real clumsy or not too bad? also is it really stiff?
I've had a glance at the komodo too which looks pretti sexy, weird, but sexy haha.

thanks for all the advice guys
