Rossis are super light, but they are pretty much a pipe ski. They are pretty stiff, and real poppy, but not really buttery.

Revivals are buttery and a little more playful, but also heavier.

Depends on what you prefer.

Revivals are a solid ski, but for only park I would personally go with the domain. Revivals are good if you are in more than just the park (all mountain, not really powder)

Hey man, i have not tried the revivals but i hear they are amazing both for park and all mountain and a bit off piste. But i have tried the Rossignol Scratch, and they are truly majestic in that they have a great flex and are not stiff at all though you can carve at high speeds. I also found that they have a short turn radius for agile turns. The good flex is quite forgiving on landings if you land to far forward or back. Finally the art of these skis are really cool and the bases are dope, quite similar to the afterbangs. And you can definitely butter in them. I hope this helped

i have 174 rossi ghetto's ( same as the scratch i believe) and 179 k2 revivals and i can honestly say the revivals are very playfull, but not very stable at higher speeds the rocker really hinders there performance, they chatter alot. where as the shorter cambered rossi is better, so if you want to ski fast hit big jumps and ride some pipe get the rossi's they last forever and there flex never dies. the revivals are awesome if you want to do lots of butters, bounce of side booters and genarally goof around. this all being said my revivals i paid full pop for and the rossi's i got for free with 3 inches of edge missing which i repaired and have been bomber ever since. hate to say it, but the rossi's are a better ski and i only bought the revivals because they are the iron maiden graphic and look ill as FUCK!!!

majestic? Haven't hear that word in a while.... Revivals are so damn sick. I prefer stiffer park skis, and to me they feel reasonably soft for being a 'stiff' park ski. They will perform much better all mountain than Rossi's, but if I spent a lot of time in the park primarily on jumps or pipe I'd probably take Rossi's based on previously owning S4's.
