Replying to Are Alpha 2s more of a playful ski than AR6s?

Hi, I'm a new member to the forum but have been reading here for a fair while. I'm looking for some help choosing new park skis. I currently have 176 AR6s ('07 model). I like them for the most part but find them far too stiff in the tails and I don't really like the flex pattern in the tips for buttering. They flex right up near the tips and it makes it harder to do buttery pivoty things. They're just not as fun as other skis I've owned. I liked the flex of my old AR5s better and even my Walls (once I'd done a full season on them).

I was leaning a little towards some Alpha 2s but wanted to know if they're a more playful ski than the AR6s? The other problem is that I'm 6'4" (~180lbs) and I'm not sure if the 182 Alpha 2s would be too short for me due to the early rise tips? I realise my current skis are too short for me too but I was planning on something longer with this set.

Also open to other suggestions, I'm not at all set on Armadas.
