Prophet 100s and pimps

I know the pimp has a waist 3mm smaller so i was wondering if someone could verify their differences. I think the prophet is much more of a backcountry/trees/powder ski that you can take in the park, while the pimp is more towards park and groomed runs, and while it can do well in powder and such it has a larger turning raidus. Is this right? I am definately looking for a ski that is for powder days at the resort,finding powder stashes in the trees, and hitting backcountry jumps with powder/crud landings.

actually, it's the opposite, as the pimp is essentially a sugar daddy with a twin, and it is also longer than the prophet. they however work equally well in the backcountry and there is not a whole lot of difference in the uses they were intended for. if you are choosing between these, i would go with whatever is cheaper. oh and i should say that the PIMP is a little harder to spin as it is longer.
