If you ski the east mostly and pretty much hit rails and 30 ft and under jumps then get the afterbangs I say. If you're doing bigger jumps then I'd say chronic.

Anthems are softer I think, maybe the Step Up would be good for you.  It's pretty much just a stiffer Afterbang, so it might be better all over the mountain.

Bear in mind that the founder-turned-brand manager of Line Skis still lives in northern Vermont and the Anthem was his everyday east cost ski, same for a lot of the Meatheads...  Definitely not too soft for east coast riding, and if you plan on riding mostly park, you'll have fun on it.
