Wied Question: ON3P KARTEL 98 VS. JERONIMO

So I have a dillema. Lets just say I may have a hookup to get a pair on new 2014 JMO's in 181 for a steal. The problem lies in the fact that I can get my hands on the 181 Kartel 98 for only a few dollars more.
I know the Kartel is 98mm and the JMO is 101mm in the waist. My question is which ski should I buy and why? What are the differences? I ski 70% all mountain 30% park. I live on the east coast so how either rides the deep stuff is irrelevant. My style is hard charging, back country booters, tree skiing, some bumps, and hot laps (pull slow floaty spins and rarely do rails).
Is there really a noticeable difference in these two skis?
+k to all for help. Need to make a decision before they are gone.

You aren't going to notice a huge difference. Personally I'd go for the jmos because I like a little wider ski

Tough call. Jmos would be cool since they're discontinued, so they'd be kinda rare. But I know they did make updates to the jmo(which is now kartel series) like lower swing weight and stuff.
May I ask where you are finding j mo prices similar to kartel or kartel prices as low as a jmo?

Well, decided to go JMO. For anyone interested check out East Slope Outdoors out of Big Sky Montana.
I got the last 181cm Jeronimo they had left over from last year. I do believe they still have one of each of the smaller sizes left in the Jeronimo.
Also, you ON3P lovers will hate but they also have last years Moment PB&J (Tan-Pink-Blue Topsheet)in all sizes. Get em while the gettins good. Call and ask for Alex hes a cool dude and should be able to hook you up. They do ship for around $30-$40
