Another "What Ski?" Thread

So I've decided I need to get rid of my shitty 2012 Line Step Ups. I bought them from backcountry so I get the full $275 back that I payed. I have considered ON3P FRs, Atomic Punx, Line Chronics, Armada Ar7, Armada THall, and K2 Domain. I think the Filthy Rich's are out of my rang, I want more of a $300 range. I am looking for super durable, light, soft, buttery, and poppy. I ski 99.9 percent park and jumps. I am free to any suggestions

Also, does anyone in Wisconsin know of any ski shops that will mount skis for less than $75 within an hour of Wausau?

The thalls are everything that you're looking for. You can never go wrong with the durability of Armada. The Thall is the most flexible ski Armada offers with the exception of the Arv and Henrik's new skis which they will be releasing for this season. You can butter on these skis all day. They're soft in the tips and tails for butters but stiff underfoot so you don't lose the capability of going big. The ar7's are another great ski. They are the exact same ski as the thalls but with a much stiffer flex pattern. If you are light I wouldn't recommend these as much. However, they are a little more durable in my opinion. The ar7 is a ski designed to slay everywhere around the mountain but they still rip in the park. The punx are very similar to the thalls. However, they are a thinner ski so it is preference. They are very similar in flex but in my opinion I think the thalls are more durable and I prefer the thalls flex pattern. I have not ridden the domains but I have heard they are a great park ski and they are cheaper. Unfortunately, the FR are way out of your range. I jumped around a lot which I apologize for. I hope this clears up some questions.

I think I've narrowed it down to 176 TCs or 181 THall I'm 6' and 155. What do you guys think? How about the durability of both of them?
