All Around Powder Ski

I am looking between two different powder skis for next year. I think I'd like the Line Elizabeth or the K2 Kung Fujas. I know there is a big difference in skis dimensions but I was wondering which would be better for being mostly being used in powder with some park and tree skiing. I am about 5'8" and I weigh about 130 pounds. I want a very versitile ski.

Obsethed might work too, but it's going to be stiffer than both of those skis.  JJ might work?  this is a tough choice, Kung Fujas is better all mountain but I think Lizzy is better for pow.  So to slove this you need........... SIR FRANCIS BACONS!!!!!!!!!!!!  These will be far superior over the Fujas and Lizzy, at least for what you want.

Bacons are a way better all-mountain, powder ski.  If you get Elizabeths you might like them at first but you'll eventually want something bigger.

I already have some park skis but the Elizabeths would be half as much as Sir Francis Bacons.

If you already have park skis, that's even more reason to get Bacons

That's even more reason to get Hellbents or EP Pros!

I always forget about Blends.  However, I think Bacons suit the guy better.

they're nice they'll be a little more stiff but if your used to a skinnier ski you'll feel big difference in the powder

I know I just bought park skis. However I could not afford any other powder skis and anyways, A 110 waist will do better than my current skis with a 84 waist.
