Solomon Ghost or Shogun?

I have two options, solomon shogun boot with a 100 flex for 450$ CA plus a 15% discount or the solomon ghost boot with a stiffer 130 flex for 645$ CA plus a 20% discount. Both fit well and the same, the ghost seems to be getting much more hype

I am an agressive, say expert, skier. 6'3'' 175lbs I am a big mountain skier who likes drops and some park, I ski all the mountain, from moguls to groomers to huge bowls and super steep chutes. The ghost seems to be more geared towards me but I'm looking for feedback on both boots to see if its worth pitching in that much money for the ghost.

I've also heard that the ghost has some pop to the flex so that it rebounds, something new which could be quite useful and interesting in moguls, drops and jumps.

ive worn the salomon falcon around, which the ghost is based off of, and it does seem to be super poppy, as in the plastic seems to have some life to it compared to other boots like the tecnica dragon 110, or the nordica hot rod 105, they both seem like they just flex and have no response back, whereas the falcon had some bounce to it which i seemed to like. I am actually looking into the shogun for next year. They are based off of different boots, shogun-x3 race boot, ghost-falcon, both 98mm last, but different stiffness
