T Hall vs. Da Nollie

Guys, help me out here please. I've snapped my 11-12 Moment Vices this weekend, now looking into a new ski.

Can't decide between this year's Da Nollie & T Hall. I am 6'2, 160 pounds. Intermediate skier, learning my 540's and 720's, ski 50% rails 50% jumps. I am currently exposed to jumps not bigger than 50ft.

I know both skis are known for their pop, both are buttery, but which one would better suit me? I am looking for intermediate stiffness in tips/tails, solid platform underfoot for stabilty during takeoffs and landings

I appreciate insights into these two, would also like to hear something about the quality of the two.

P.S. i actually don't mind a symmetric sidecut, even stoked to try it someday. Will be mounting the skis with FKS

You should check out the on3p filthy riches. Symmetrical side cut, 88 under foot. Super poppy, im hitting jumps up to 35 because that's all I have where I am. The bamboo core provides a very nice flex, and the rocker allows you to butter easily if you so wish. Another thing I love about the rocker is if you under rotate a spin a little bit the rocker doesn't catch like a camber ski might. They are super bomb proof.

thanks for the response!
I absolutely adore filthy riches and it is my dream ski, but unfortunately it is not sold in Russia, and if I order it from USA I'll have to pay almost $300 for the shipping, which makes even such skis pretty pricey.

I would go with the Thalls. Great ski for jumps and not too stiff for rails.

t halls are a safe bet, you know they'll be good. havent heard much about the da nollie, i hand flexed them in a store and the flex seemed awesome, softer tip and tail and a bit of stiffness underfoot.

I have the T-halls and I really like' em. I've heard the Da Nollie are a softer and more buttery ski then the T-halls, but if your hitting bigger jumps you don't wanter that soft of a ski.
