Replying to Looking for a new ski

SHastatahoe:
I haven't been paying attention to this year's crop of new skis like I used to.  I recently broke up with my long time girlfriend, who moved out and is moving to DC (from California).  I am depressed, sad, and need something new.  Here is the thing, I am looking for a specific ski for my quiver.  I have lots of skis, and probably a ski that fits every niche in some way.  I will probably be replacing one of my skis.  I used to ski park, but since I blew my knee out, I shouldn't ski it as much.  Probably a little bit here and there.

Here is a list of the (twin tip) skis I ride at least once a year, and purpose:

189 Hellbents,  Powder, all mountain at mammoth and bachelor
183 Volkl Goats (older white ones), sunny day shred machines. 
180 ninthward firstbloods  early season/late season/park
178 ninthward rory's    early season/late season/park/mild-powder day

What I am looking for is a replacement for one of the ninthwards.  I actually really like both of the skis, and think they ski great, I just want something a little different.

What I am looking for is a ski probably 90-105/110(maybe) underfoot, full twin, tip and tail rocker.  I want this to be my standard every day ski.  My average day includes a little park (nothing bigger than 540, maybe a few rails), a little side stash powder, some groomers, some dicking around, and a lot of beer. 

My thoughts so far include:
 ON3P jeronemo
k2 domain

I like skiing switch a lot, so I want tip to tail ratios to be ~ 1, though I don't mind the tail being a little skinnier.

Any suggestions is appreciated!
