Fat, Rockered Ski

So I'm looking for new skis for next year and I want a rockered pow ski.  I'm a big guy (6'3" and about 250 or so) BUT I've been riding first generation Fujatives (suuuper soft, buttery park ski) so a soft ski doesn't bother me.  I don't live in the mountains but make a couple trips a year and have fun all over the hill.  I'm looking at:

    K2 Hellbents
    Line EPs (I've heard rumors they MIGHT be a little stiffer this year?)
    Surface Live Life's
    Surface Live Life 2's

Any other suggestions?  Thanks!

You should wait until the new 4FRNT line comes out.  3 big ass rockered skis, I'm excited to try them.

After seeing and hearing testimonials of the LL2's, I'm really interested in demoing a pair eventually. Sounds like the perfect steep and deep tool. A (relatively) stiff, rockered pow ski.

Not to mention that the rocker looks absolutely insane on the LL2's. It's like the ski tips are partially broken and facing upwards. I still gawk at them in the lift line when I see them since it looks so different from most rockered skis.
