Replying to Kung Fujas vs. Line Blend vs. Rossi S3

dman1260:
I'm looking into getting new skis. I'm 6'1'' and weigh around 200lbs. I'm a pretty aggressive skier and am looking for an all-mountain ski to add to my quiver (other skis are some really old 1080's, think early 2000s). I ski almost exclusively in Tahoe and go up mostly after a new storm. For those of you who aren't familiar with Tahoe, this means I ski mostly tracked out powder and crud since us non-locals usually can't get up the before the locals ski everything out.

I want a ski with rocker than I can take everywhere on the mountain. I've talked with a lot of people and think I have narrowed it down to these three skis, but am welcome to suggestions. My main concern with all these skis is if they will be stiff enough and handle their own in crud / hardpack. Any input or personal experience would be appreciated.

I was at one point also really interested in a little wider ski (115-120mm waist), but have heard they won't perform really well in anything but deep pow Anyone have anything to say to the contrary, cause a local shop has bent chetlers and they look pretty awesome. If someone can convince me that they are worth it for more than just pow, I might have no choice but to get them.

Also, I search bared the hell out of this topic and have read everything about this years model, just looking advice specific to my situation.
