Irrelevant ski comparison? Solomon 1080 Foil vs Scratch Pro

So, I can get one of these 2 skis free from a shop I know.
I've ridden the Rossi Scratches at something around 155 and they were ok, I've never skied real park skis but they felt ok, squirrelly off jumps but light (length I'm sure). Didn't seem to like pressing for any length of time which is a bit of a bummer since I'm looking for a playful bendy ski.
The 1080 Foils are 170-something. And just didn't know any opinions on them, when I watched him ski them he could bend them like crazy, but I'm not sure how much effort he was exerting.
Opinions?

Well, the thing I'm lacking from the Scratch is the flexibility and the length does not work for deeper snow. I'm an expert-level skier just was curious about the flex between the 2 skis or any personal preferences between em.
Main thing I like for the Scratch is how light they are.

Out of curiosity, would the longer ski be more flexible than the shorter? I'm thinking along the lines of a long twig vs a short twig.

probably. think of a stick. its more flexible the longer it is.
