T-Hall too soft?

I flexed the T-Halls and the AR6s (both last years at 181) in the shop and they didn't feel all that different. I decided the AR6 would probably better for me and I bought them but now I'm having second thoughts. I'm 6'5" and 180lbs. I ski 100%  east coast park. I wanted a ski that would be good for rails (and nosepresses butters etc), but also hold up for jumps. The black and white scarface t-halls seemed really sweet.. I haven't put bindings on the AR6 yet, should I go back and exchange them for the T-Hall?

The question is pretty much should I go for the stiffer ski.. will the AR6 be soft enough for me at my height and weight.

I bought the skis near montreal and I'm going home to Ontario tomorrow for the holidays, so I need to make a decision right away...

I would go with the T-hall because its park specific and a little softer and the ar6 is for park + pipe (im pretty sure.) But they are so similar that it doesn't really matter what you do.

the difference between the 2 isnt that of a big deal. the t-hall is probably a bit softer however at 180lbs im sure you wont have problem buttering both.

if it was me i would just stick the the ar6, cause they are both great skis, but from what u described the t hall would fit ur uses better

i promise you that you dont want buttery ass t-halls in icy hell hole canada where you live, stick with the ar6's, they are just a tad stiffer, and you already have them. trust me, at 6'5 and 180 the last thing you want is the t hall.

plus you would be paying more for a ski that is the same, but softer. just stick with ar6's, and mount them 2 back from running length center and you will be happy for sure.

I'm pretty much your size and I'd definitely go AR6 even for all out jibbing.
