2016 Line Blends or Armada Edollos

I am currently looking around for a new set of skis for next season and I have narrowed it down to these two options. I am 6'2", 165 lbs, and I live on the East Coast but I'm planning a trip out west for next year. I ski mostly park, but I also like to shred the rest of the mountain. I'm typically a fast skier, and I am looking for something that will last for at least a few seasons. If anyone currently has these skis and could give a review on them it'd be much appreciated, or if you guys have any other suggestions that'd be great.

I'm about the same height and weight as you, I've had a pair of blends for three seasons now. Despite what people say about Line durability, mine are holding up great, and I hit rails pretty much every time I ski. They're definitely the best ski for jibbing I've ever had, and they kill it in a lot of different conditions. The only thing they're not god for is going super fast cause they're soft, but you'll probably have that same problem with the E-Dollos.

Blends over the armadas. The blend is such a fun ski that you can do practically anything with. I usually ride park and hardpack but my blends held their own pretty well in deep pow in Alta and Jackson hole.

Maybe it's just me but my 2016 Line blends haven't held up really well at all. My friend has the edollos and he rides even harder than me and they barely have any damage on them. If I could go back I'd buy the edollos. But on the other hand the blends are still a fun and awesome ski. Just my two cents.

The Edollo's are a ton of fun I ski all around the mountain on them and they definitely are a great ski
