Suspects VS AR6 +++++k

I've narrowed it down to these two skis for my one ski quiver this year. I ski east coast, so I will be using them in a variety of conditions. I'm wondering what the pros and cons are for both skis, and which you would recomend. I ski 70% park and 30% all mountain. I'm 5'8" and 130 pounds. So which ski is better?

i really like the suspect. i've skied them both and i think the suspect is far superior. especially if you want a ski that can do everything well. it's wider, more stable, and i think the graphic is really sick. shouldn't even be a question, suspect all the way.

I would go with the ar6 cause I just love armada skis and how they ride. You will not regret it. But ya they are both great skis.

Thanks guys, +k to everyone. I think I will go with the AR6, but if anyone else still wants to put their 2 cents in, it would be appreciated.

I got it off the Line website. I'll change it though cause it seems like you've been on here longer than me.

im going to vote ar6, one becuase i rode them last year and loved them, and two because i love armada.

but im looking into getting a pair of suspects as my pipe ski for this winter, ive got 09 thalls right now, but the park i work at is spancerized by salomon and bonfire, so i get huge discounts with solli.

but yea, i vote ar6
