Madshus Fjelltech 44 skin vs Fischer Transnordic 59 twin skin

Which ski would you pick for a long distance endurance race (100 miles) on snowmobile trails with rolling terrain (climbs up to 8-10%)? The goal is to finish as quickly as possible.

I’m primarily interested in hearing opinions on how the twin skin performs compared to the mono skin on the Madshus Fjelltech.

I’ve skied the Madshus Fjelltech and personally find them a bit soft and slow.

I’ve not skied the Fischer Transnordic 59’s but have access to them.

Both have a Move binding.

I’ve skied on Asnes Mtn Race 48’s before as well. Where would you rank these in comparison to the other two?

I did the race last year on a pair of Asnes Otto Sverdrup’s and will have them in reserve if the weather calls for a wider ski. I found the wax maintenance ended up being quite cumbersome after the first 50 miles as the variation in temp throughout a long time period made things tricky.
