Dear god, another "Which ski" thread

First, i apologize for doing this, but i have been searching for a fair amount of time, and i finally need to make a decision.
I weigh a solid 180 with gear
I am 6'1
I want to ski about 80% park 20% random east coast pow
(Park is 50-50 between rails and jumps)
I am shit broke, so it needs to be kept under 500
I am leaning towards rocker, but it is not a must.
i have been looking at
Liberty antigens
Bluehouse Antics
2011 Line Blends
Icelantic da'nollies
Thanks for any help, +k for cool kids

Revivals maybe may be a little short in 179 though. Just my opinion

Cant comment on any of those skis in particular but i ride libertys and they are sick, really light and a super nice flex pattern (morphics) also k2 revivals, only heard good things about em and they are last years which mean less $$

I know you said that your limit is 500, but for 149 more dollars, you should go for the ON3P Jeronimos. They seem to fit what you want pretty well.
BUTTTT if you really are stuck at the 500 limit, definitely check out the Icelantic Da'nollies. I demo'd them for a day this past season and they were one of the most fun skis I've ridden aside from my Blue Steeles. I was riding Anthems at the time, and when I got on the Icelantics, they felt much livelier. Tons of pop and carved like a baosss. Definitely pick those up if not the Jeronimos.

Wait a couple weeks and scrape together another $150 bucks.
