4frnt MSP's vs. Pistol vs. Vicious

I am wondering if anyone has skied the 187 MSP's, the green 189 pistols and the 189 vicious. I have the green pistols, and ski them everyday, but I was thinking about some MSP's. I love the pistols, but wish they were slightly stiffer, and had just a little less sidecut. I skied the vicious and love them, it was as if they took the faults of the pistols and corrected them. My major problem with the pistols is the sidecut, I do not like hooking up the tail when I am in something steep, or the tail hooking me into a carve when I am in something tight with hacked up snow. The vicious are great because they have corrected this problem, the ski feels less hooky and I can break the tails free when I want to. I am wondering how the MSP's compare to these two skis, if anyone has ridden all three. I very rarely ski park, I just stick to the steeps, so how they spin is not much of an issue. If anyone has skied all of these, or the 187 MSP and 189 vicious, I would be stoked on some info.

IMO the msp is a more solid ski. the vicious is a little noodly and gets to be a little too hooky for my taste. the 187 msp is a solid all-around ski that can tackle the steeps, the deep, and everything in between.
i used to be a big fan of the pistols/vicious, but lately them seem a little noodly, and not very stable.
rxvcgIII is selling a pair of 187 msps he only got 3 pow days on. they're in perfect condition and he'll let them go for $300 shipped.
i would hop on that deal if i were you.

Not be a BRO whore, but they sound like what you're looking for, I was interested in the 189 viscous as well, but too much side cut and too soft for what I want. The Bros are stiffer, even the soft model and have way less side-cut at 125-99-114. And they weigh nothing.
