 If you want a softer ski go with the AR6's.
Both are amazing skis, but it sounds like the Armada is more what you're looking for.

i've heard good things about both skis. i think the jibs are lighter tho. and supposedly they're poppy as hell. go to the reviews section to check them out.

ar6s are softer, and rip all mountain.

reno jibs are pretty stiff, but super poppy and absolutely kill all mountain.

both are good on rails.

AR6's for sure, best ski ever!! edges are amazing and it enough soft and loose to jib, but can still be used in bigger jumps as well.
