New sticks?

Hey, I'm in the market to buy some new park skis. But i am having quite abit of trouble deciding which, or even a hand full to pick.
I am 5'8, 140lbs. I ski about 80% park, then some dicking around on groomers, but mostly jibs in the parks, although I do want to progress and get better at jumps.
I need a ski that can butter nicely, but still hold up well for an intermediate park skier. I want them to have a relatively low wing weight, and to be nice and poppy. So maybe a rockered ski?
To sum it up:
Park ski which is soft, poppy and great for rails. Maybe rockered, and ha a low swing weight. and is good for a some one who is 5'8 135lbs.

I loved my brothers liberty antigens. Super fun and playful for jibbing and a blast screwing around on groomers.

Nope, they're an original model. They are made by surface but aren't just rebranded double time.

OP, I think the Joysticks would be good, and I'd also look into t-halls, punx, domains and filthy riches.
