Volkl Wall or Salamon Suspect?

I hear the walls are the shit, all around awesome ski, the one thing is people say they re pretty stiff. I am and intermediate level park skier and mostly only hit jumps about 25-35 feet and lots of rails. I ike a ski to be forgiving if im not on point is the wall going to be too stiff.
The other ski im looking at is the Salamon suspect, It got a great review in freeskier but some of the comments in other places say the edges rip out realy easy despite them being advertised with reinforced edges. It also advertises a pulse pad to absorbe impacts whic sounds dope but is it just a gimic? Its also a touch cheaper.
What ski for me?

salomon, atomic, and volkl received bias views in freeskier. dont go by them. even volkl is pretty legit
you are basically looking for a medium flex park ski
liberty lte
volkl walls

walls are not that stiff. i wish mine were stiffer if anything, but they butter so nice and carve well also. suspects are definitely stiffer.
my friend got suspects at the same time i got walls- the beginning of last year. i'm still skiing mine, 20 edge cracks and an inch of edge falling out (totally my fault though, clipped the edge of a rail). he's on his third pair of suspects, the other two pair completely lost their edges within a couple months. get walls.

what makes you say that? cause they advertise in the magazine?
volkl and salomon do make really fun skis, the salomons just don't last very long. but the reviews don't cover that. so it doesn't surprise me their park skis get good review.
never skied atomics so idk about them.
also yeah liberty LTEs are also a good choice, a little bit softer than the walls.
