Replying to What's the difference?

So two years ago when I started park skiing I was misguided into buying 2012 volkl bridges. After I purchased them I read online that they weren't very suitable for park. I agreed, they felt dead on my feet, there was no pop, and the swing weight was awful. I skied the two seasons on them in park regardless because I couldn't afford to buy new skis. This year however I got a new job and saved up for armada thalls thinking they'll be a load different and help me ski better since they are park specific skis, but comparing them to my volkl bridges, they seem to be the same weight, flex, and swing weight. Is there really that much of a difference between skiing on these two skis in the park? Or did i just waste money on a new topsheet?
