Might I ask why you are looking into Silencers and Ar6's if you want a soft ski? The silencers are very stiff, along with the Ar6's which are a moderate stiffness.

Invaders are the softest, with the Anthems not far behind.

I don't even want to hear it. I started skiing last year and knew nothing. But the experts at my shop said that they would be a great binding to match my invaders for a 215 pound kid.

Look at STLs and Nothing But Troubles too you want a soft park ski. And why compare Invaders to AR6? T-Halls dude, pretty much Armada's version of the Invader.

Out of the ones you named, the Ar6s. You may also wnat to look at silencers, If you want something cheap. They are really light, pretty soft, and I'd say more durable than the invaders, at least

Wrong again. Why does everyone think Silencers are soft? They are the stiffest ski mentioned in this whole thread! And not particularly light either. Pretty durable though, mine have a few cracks but are holding up nice. Can't argue with the price though.

But for skiing, they're pretty horrible. Dead, lifeless planks.

really? they seemed pretty light when I picked them  up in the shop, and they seemed to flex pretty easily....... not as light as the Jon Olsson Pros though, or Salomon flyers I guess

Find the ski flex charts for some proper flex tests. Search for ski flex and you should find it.
