Best all mountain twintip?

I'm looking for a solid all mountain, since I do about 65% AM 35% park. I looked at skis like the invader and the urban punx but they seemed like they would be too park oriented for my needs. Also, is center mounting a ski automatically making it park oriented? Or should i back mount a couple inches for safe measure?

i bought chronics for this same usage.  im an east coaster so  ididn't feel the need for anything super wide.  if you actually get fresh snow or head off piste i'll say blends.  i think next year there will be a wider chronic too

line chronics would be good.
if you want something cheap
check out the COREupt CHANGE or candide YARD.   they are exactly like troublemakers, which is the IDEAL twin to start on.

they are on sale for $159
MAD good deal


and www.sierraskis.com has chronics on the cheap....

I really like the dynastar trouble makers, I have heard all good things about them and how versatile they are and how they are a great twin tip to start off with. May be going with those.
