Armada AR6 vs Salomon Suspect

Ok, I know I posted a lot of threads seperately for the suspects and the AR6. I got a lot of people complaining about the durability issues on the suspect. Tomorrow I order my pro form and I've narrowed it down to these two. I'm not worried about durability, I know if anything happens to any ski they'll just give me another one (consider me lucky). I would be greatful if I got honest feedback on the performance of each ski rather than durability. I ski east coast, so I ski mostly park. I do want the ski to have good all mountain performance also, because I occasionally make some big mt trips, with one trip a year out west. Let me know what everybody thinks. Thanks

I have AR6 from last year and they got ridiculously flexy so its cool for butters but all the pop is basically gone. Hope that helps.

Taking durability out of the equation, the Suspect is going to be lighter and poppier in the park, but the AR6 will be sightly softer in the nose (tail is stiff for big jumps) and is meant to be an all-mountain ski.
All times are Eastern (-5)
