Punx or T-Hall ?

So I've narrowed it down to these two skis for next year. I'm 6'2 and 175 pounds and i ski about 80% park and 20% all-mountain (groomers, trees, bumps, occasional EC pow). I'm a pretty agressive skier and I like to go fast down slopes, but I also like a playful ski to butter... I had 181 Scratch FS Wrs and I really liked them, but I'm looking for something softer for next year.
So it's either the 08/09 Punx in 182
                or the 08/09 T-Halls in 181 (they've stiffened them this year so there not as noodlish         as the past models)
Which one will better fit my needs?

I dont want any other ski options, it has already taken me enough time to narrow it down to these two skis.

uhh i can never get a solid answer on how soft punx are so i'm not sure what to tell you.

however, if you plan on centermounting, get punx because of the sidecut. if your looking to mount a 1 or 2 back for that 20% not park, then get the T-halls.

i demoed the 08/09 punx last year...they are insanely light, are good for spins, and are pretty solid on rails.  they are a little thin, but they are symmetrical, and skiing switch is a breeze.
