So, can anyone give me first hand real review on them?

1. Flex? Are they total noodles?
2. On-piste/Charging ?
3. All-mountain/in 20-40cm fresh? Decent?

I'm going to ski on-piste/off-piste/park like 30/40/30 percent of time, in park mostly rails, nothing to big on jumps.
My current ski is full cambered and pretty stiff, and I understand this one is really different and more playfull.
I had a good deal on them and bought them for 270$ brand new

My friend got his back after getting a 3rd warranty in 2 weeks. I feel like the Bdogs and Edollos aren't as durable as there other ski in the lineup. I say skip them. They won't charge enough for your like. They are more a fun, soft, park oriented ski that won't do too well on anything else in my mind

Thanks Swan/
I already bought them ( you missed that part ), and I have my current ski (Coreupt Dirty bastards) that I will use for park , this will be my all-mountain/jib ski (which means just occasional line through the park), so I think the durability wont be an issue. And as I researched here there are not super soft, more like medium flex(under foot and tail) to medium-soft in the tip. That would be a good change from the one of stiffest skis I saw.
My only big concern was how bad they would be charging down the slopes

Must have missed this. You'll be fine, I think "charging" will be a little chattery but it depends how you define charging. They will be fine, I would picture them somewhat close to a shreditor 102 in my mind.

Just got the Edollo's myself. Not sure where to mount the bindings. Will use it same way as you, cruising around the mountain with some park laps.

Recommended is -2,5 but thinking about going further back for more allround use.
