Replying to Caylors vs Wrenagades

ReetsAdeets:

So I have pretty much decided on one of these skis. I have looked at lots of reviews and used the search bar, and also read the Caylor thread below this. But I still cant decide. This will be pretty much my everyday ski for BC, steeper stuff, generally about boot deep, sometimes deeper, ect. I had Hellbents, but they were way to soft and wheelied out a ton. This is what I am worried about with Caylors. I did however love how maneuverable my Hellbents were in trees, which is what concerns me about the Wrenagades. I am also worried that I will regret not having tail rocker and giving up a lot of switch performance if I get the Wrenagades. That being said though, I dont ski switch a whole lot. I also really like the idea of a stiffer ski like the Wrenagades. I also ski quite a bit of mashed up heavier snow and cruddy slush at the bottom of the BC run, but usually fresh blower up top, so I want some versatility.

Knowing that ON3P is an awesome company, and can tweak skis a bit, I have thought about getting a stiffer Caylor, and at the moment, this seems like the best option at the moment, but I fluctuate from ski to ski everytime I think about it.

Summary: Like idea of a stiffer, lighter Hellbent, worried it will still wheelie out on larger drops. Really like idea of stiff ski like the Wrenagades, but worried they wont be nimble enough in trees and will seriously lack riding switch on the occasions that I do. Considering a stiffer Caylor as a compromise.

I am not opposed to new ideas either, so if you have a different ski, I will look at it. I am not interested in JJs though. I demoed them and liked them a bit, but not enough to get them. Also, if you have any rocker shots of the Wrenagades, that would be appreciated because I cant seem to find any. Sorry for the long read, but thanks in advance to those of you who help out.
