I'm reviving an old thread started in Feb. of this year. I ended up buying an '08 Ibex 144 and some CWB zeus bindings. I had a chance to ride a set on my old LF Omega 139, then rode my new board. It was my first set of the season so I was riding slow(~21 mph) and just getting my feet back under me. First impression of the Ibex is that it hits the wake hard! It has much better pop than my Omega, but it feels slower to the wake. I didn't really try to charge the wake yet. The board does land softer because I was casing the wake on the Ibex, and I was waiting for the ache, but not too bad! I really enjoyed the "center" of the board as it felt like I could spin it at will, but could still get the board on edge quickly. I'm looking forward to playing around with this board, thanks to all those who posted suggestions on the thread this winter.
