Ok sorry not too clear.
Elizabeth - Low tips, near symmetrical, no rocker. Fat park ski.
Bacon - Higher tips, less symmetrical, no rocker. All mountain fat ski.
EP - Rockered pow ski.

um, bacons are 1 mm less symmetrical than elizabeths, so it's really a marginal difference
both skis are very symmetrical with differences between the tip and tail widths 3 mm and 2mm respectively.
bacons are fatter, stiffer...

that is somewhat true, but my impression is that that because of the early taper on the bacon, the sidecut centre is set back about 6cm on the bacon, and the bacon also has a longer sidecut in the nose, shorter in the tail. by contrast the lizzie is very nearly symmetrical in shape and also has symmetrical flex.
