What sort of input do you want? What's drawing you to one over the other?

Considering the cartel is new this season I woul not think too many people have experience with them. I have the jmo which is a similar ski and I really like them. But. I would not take then as a park ski so if I was you I would go filthy.

I love my Filthy Riches though my opinion is biased since I have never rode the Kartels or similar Jmos. For me both these skis are super sick and no matter what I think it will all come down to if you want more of a dedicated park ski or an all mountain ski.

are they soft and playful, or are they stiff and made for big ass jumps. I am considering to get a pair, but not sure yet, cause I want it playful and soft for jib

Well my filthies are I think the perfect mix of everything. My binding set up makes them super light. They are super flexy but they are super playful and has enough flex to have a good time. The stiffness makes them super stable on jumps which I love.

Can you go into a little pow with them and go a little of Piste?

i have the filthys and i love them. i detuned my edges and they slip and slide everywhere. i hate camber so these things are a dream. that being said they are not the best for jumps and they feel heavier while doing spins

Oh ya that's why I love them, any day with 1-6 inches of fresh you can expect to be able to go all over the mountain. If you're not sure I would try to demo a pair

I have had filthiest for 2 seasons now. Over 100 days on them, great durability and super fun. Stiff enough that a sketchy landing or whatever won't be a problem. The rocker def helps with buttering. Overall i'd say get filthiest because they will be more fun from what I've heard about kartels.
