The Speed Course and Speed Skicross skis share identical construction and profiles for 2008 - they are also very close in structure to the Speed but the main difference here is that the tail is much more powerful. Although the profile of the tail doesn't change the additional strengthening enables the expert skier to use the tail to accelerate as the ski grips for longer in its arc.
As such for the advanced skier they are less versatile whereas for the expert the only difficulty in their use would be in tricky low-light or bumpy conditions - either way the fun you can have with these skis on a flat, well-groomed run outweighs any of the extra work you may rarely need to put in with that stronger tail.
If you prefer your graphics louder then grab a pair of the Skicross, or if you wish for a cooler, more race-bred feel grab the Speed Course; both are great for the expert skier wanting GS feel without the GS work-load.
n.b. the ski photographed has a misprint of the Speed Course dimensions, which are as below.
