Need a new board

[zerphyr]

Looking for a new noserider. I had posted earlier but I guess it was labeled as spam due to the linked pictures in the post, not sure. I'm new to the forum, but have been surfing since 1992 (no that my skills reflect that). Right now I have 3 modern high performance longboards ranging from 9' to 9'3" that I can nose ride but am itching for a dedicated nosebomber. I'm possibly looking to get a bing, takayama, or maybe even a tyler if I can find one for a decent price of around $1,000.00(thank god for tax returns). I'll probably buy from this place since its local to where I surf and I can go down and check out the boards:

Any comments from people who have had any of these boards as far as maneuvering and versatility? I'm 5'5" 175lbs if that matters.
