If you have the Blend, you might want something a little more distinct from it than the Seth. The Seth is about 1cm bigger all around, so they are kinda both in the same category of one-ski-quiver kinda skis.

yup, 100% agree with this.
i think ya should look at something at least 105 in the waist and about 185 in length to prevent overlap with blends. here's a shortlist:

186 rossi steeze/raven
188 jp vs julien
190 gotama

or maybe a more playful option like bacons or thugs?

i mean seths are a great ski, but a blend/seth 2 ski quiver would be a waste.

I would look at 186 Prophet 100s. Super fun ski, rips pow and hardpack with equal ease, and surprisingly quick for how long it is.
