What skis? (thinking about line elizabeth and 4frnt msp....)

So after reading gobs of reviews on many skis (especially the line elizabeths and the 4frnt msps), i'm stuck. I'm 5'9" 140lbs and looking for a good park and backcountry ski. I ski lots of thick pow pow but also a lot of park so i'm looking for something that will do both for me. Personally I hate the graphics on the lizzies but they are the perfect length and would seem to suit what I usually ski. I have also read up on the msps and see that they got the ski magazine best in test, but they seem kind of skinny and i've heard they are REALLY stiff. I've also read that the line blends would be great, but I'm not sure about those either.

Well the MSP would be better for park since the Lizzie is so fat, but I would also consider looking for something a little longer than 172 for pow-ish stuff. The MSP would be good all around since you want something that can do a bit of everything. Other great skis are last years Rossi Brigades, older JJs, or Line Blends. I can help you get a pair of this years MSPs for cheap if you decide to go that way.

I have also been thinking about getting some lizzies. They seem to be the right size for me and i really want a flexible ski but not too flexible. Does anyone know how they perform when charging straight down a groomer. Do they chatter too much, hard to control? I like skiing powder and park but im afraid while im bombing blues that they are going to be flopping all over.
