k so im getting a sick deal from my local shop on either the Jo pros or Elan Revert and I don't know what to go with

I weigh  200 lbs about 6'3" and ive been skiing elan Mo2s for the last couple years so im used to a pretty rock solid ski
with these skis ill ski probably 70% park and 30% groomers meaning i want a ski that can tear up the park and then go carve up other hills later
since I've only had one pair of previous twins (mo2s) I don't know what kind of characteristics I really want with a ski so that's why im asking

I really wanna go with the Jo pros because I've heard there a sick ski from so many people yet I keep getting told they're breaking really easy and shit

what do you guys think?

btw it'll probably end up being either of these two skis so I'd rather people not just start listing other good skis off, ty

both skis are really soft, if your 200 lbs, your gonna crush both of them.

but if its between those two, get the revert. its a pretty dope ski. other than the whack edges in the base,  its a pretty solid park ski, with a good construction. the heads are capped, and have pretty thin edges. plus they are fairly short right? not sure what theyre longest length is, but the elans come in a 185, which is dope. really, the only thing id say the heads have over the elans is the graphics.

you may crush the jo's but if u like a soft ski, they kill it. best part about them is how ridiculously light they are

my brother had the mo2's or w.e elan made, they had the metal plate on the base, and he had some seriously negative feedback from a true skiing perspective. he switched to volkl. elan came up a few yrs ago in the race industry and just slapped some tails on the end of some skis. i have no info on the reverts, but i would be wary
