Volkl Wall or Salomon NFX or ...? Pick my park/groomer/ carving ski

So since I won't want to be on my Rocker2 100s all the time, I want something to replace my now-sold Volkl Steps. I don't ski a ton of park, but want a skinnier ski that I can go into the park for a few laps and bomb down anything. I am 5'10", 170 and an aggressive skier, but very 'meh' at true park skiing...

I liked the steps as they weren't too stiff, had tip/tail rocker and were easy to handle on rails and jumps. but if I started hammering them on groomers they would get a little overwhelmed (as was to be expected).

I was going to get the volkl kink this season, as I have owned them before and they have no changed since, and I really liked them. but they are sold out on the proform site :(

so here are my considerations:

Volkl Wall
Salomon NFX
Atomic Punx/ Infamous
Rossigno Scratch FS?
Salomon TNT?
Try to find a pair of Volkl Kinks?

I can also get k2 and line on preform, but neither really wows me for this season...

thanks

Gona have to go with Walls over the NFX. the sollys rail turns, but are super stiff. The volkls kill it in the carving scene, but break in more from what I've seen so thats what I would go with.

Thanks, and good point... I was hoping for something on the softer side, since my knee is compromised (ACL blown, surgery in the spring) and not too heavy. Wall is looking more and more tempting...

NFXs 100% tick the carving down groomers box but are gnarly stiff. Walls will make you happy
