I need new skis

Okay, so I've outgrown my old Suspects and I want some input on what I should get now. I've been eyeing the Armada Halo's for a while because I'm digging the whole buttery soft deal, but I've also been looking at On3p's J-mos and FR. Anybody have any suggestions? I know there's threads like this all the time, but you get the best advice by asking.

Tell us something about your skiing, or in other words, what are the skis for?

I ski mostly park because unfortunately powder skiing is a foreign concept around here so I want a solid park ski that is good for jumps but really excels on rails and jibs. A ski considered ''playful'' would be nice. as for my build; I'm around 5'9 165lbs.

How about the new Line Traveling Circus ski? Symmetrical, very soft and playful flex and I think this year they have a very slight early rise as well.

Ya know the k2s don't look like a bad idea. Anybody know how 4FRNT's are? as hokey and cliche as it may sound I'm kinda into supporting smaller 'grassroots' companies. But I'm not against the big guys, obviously they're doing it right to be so successful.

Going big on the Domain, that's a different story. Hella fun when you use those skis on rails and super fun doing butters on boxes and off groomers. But when it comes to big jumps, they are a little too soft for my taste.
