Skis that top Volkl Walls?

Well Ive been skiing my OG volkl walls the past 4 seasons. Unfortunately at the end last season I decided it would be a good idea to ski through a rock field. Needless to say it raped my skis and I now have 2 core shots in my beloved walls. So my question is, what skis would you recommend that would top my walls? I honestly couldnt say a bad thing about the ski even if I tried to find something wrong with them. I have been looking at the Moment Reno Jibs, but my buddy had a pair of Moment Rockers that had some edge/chipping issues from doing pretzels.

So does anyone have any thoughts? Im looking for something is still gonna be as playful and tuff-as-nails as volkl walls. Any ideas? Or do you think that I should just go with another pair of walls? Thanks for the input.

im on my second pair of walls but i love them...both pairs gotten the shit beaten out of them but are still rideable. the only other skis i've like more were the icelandic da'nollies. they're really similar, but slightly lighter and poppier. the only problem is their longest length is 180, which is too short for me.

I should also mention that:

Will be skiing 50% jumps 50% rails and all mountain as well
Price range doesnt matter too much (thanks to my summer job), but I wanna keep it around $600

yea man walls are my favorite of all skis ive ridden.

maybe try out some S4's tho, side wall chipping is almost impossible on them.

I love armada skis and most of the time dont say anything is better. the last two years at demos I havent found a ski that is better then the volkl wall. The one that comes close is the volkl bridge. they both have great edge hold and veryyy  durable (if you dont hit rocks with them).

I loved my walls. I have used many different skis since having them and am planning on going back to them because they were so good.
