Faction Kennedy Skis do or dont?

Hey, I'm looking into buying some new skis this year. I currently ride old ass LINE shadow 161's. My big problem with them is that the base sucks, I can never get enough speed even on the iciest and slickest of days. And I'm looking to buy a longer ski, possibly more heavy.... but still fun and playful. A ski that offers more support and sturdiness though when I land jumps and want to do some fast carving runs.
What do yall think about the 2012 Faction Kennedy as an option, probably just in a 163... assuming the ski will weigh more.
Thanks!

Post it in Gear talk before you get karma raped, and you'll get a better feedback there.

Thanks for the advice man.
And I would usually wax them every other week, so every 5-7 days on the hill

faction skis are among the lightest i have ever held and really one of the most bombproof they really put the time and money to put out the best technology. the 163 will be perfect for you. the girls version is a bit too soft.
