I would say the foil. If you're going to be riding park most of the time and need something light, the foil sounds like it would your kind of ski. I demoed them and liked them, but I ski a little bit more all mountain, so i got the Rossi fs wrs's.

im not so sure foils are lighter at all.
im thinking about the dumonts and on the salomon site it says they're a lot lighter than the foils and the ar6s are the same weight as the dumonts.
also, i held pe's and foils at the same time and the pe's felt a tad lighter.
i'd say ar6
