Should I trade 189 K2 Obsethed for 190 Icelantic Gypsy

Both are last years still new.

I already own Nordica Patrons which are similar to the Obsetheds but thinner

I already own Surface New Life which are similar to the Gypsy just thinner.

Which route should i take Patron/Obsethed/New Life OR Patron/Gypsy/New life

P.S. Gypsys or Obsetheds would be used for charging big line, keeping jibbs down as much as possible. Which is stiffer and faster? I want something more like the On3p Billy Goat (Couldnt find new, gotta wait till next year) or At least something that will ski as different as possible from the patron or new life.

Both are pretty soft in the tip and tail. Obsethed is stiffer under the boot and has camber underfoot which will help with stability. Also, the gypsy has a much more centered mount where the obsethed is a lot more directional and has a substantially larger rocker profile in the nose than in the tail. Obsethed=more directional and chargey. Gypsy=more jibby and playful
