I have skied both!

Octos/anthem are extremely soft and buttery

Suspects are stiffer and little lighter

octos are symetrical

suspects arent quite but close

lots of illogical posts in this thread haha.

Alright heres the breakdown

Anthem(Octoland): Softer, wider, really a nice park ski if your looking to jib, rails and everything. Super fun.

Suspects: Heard about these, and i guess theyve been breaking, not totally sure. Stiffer than the anthem, but none the less a nice medium flexed park ski.

ive skiied both. suspect stiffer, more stable on landings, more pop, better all mountain, basically symetrical, tips are wider then anthems

anthem/octoland more flexy/fun, butter zones kill it, decent in powder (east cost), poppy, performs all mountain if you can ski well, but not as good as suspects.
