Full Tilt Rumor vs. Soul Sister

I have FT Rumor's right now and the tongue is #4 flex, and I was thinking about getting some Soul Sisters which are #6 flex tongues because they're super cheap online. I couldn't think of anything else from my parents for christmas so it was all I could come up with. I know that I can easily buy a 6 flex tongue and just swap it out, but I was desperate to come up with a gift haha.

Anyone have the Soul sisters and can speak at how great they are compared to the rumor's? Or vise versa? Or want to tell me there's literally no point in getting them if I already have the rumor's? I have increasingly become an aggressive skier after skiing more big mountain and less park and my boots have been frustrating me a ton. Hoping the soul sister's would help at least a little. Any help is appreciated thanks!!!!

I have the Soul Sisters and love them. They are the perfect stiffness for me. Im not really a park skier, but i ride everything else on the mountain, and I havent found terrain they dont feel great on. I tried the Rumor on and even in the shop I could flex the crap out of them which I hated. I also loved the coloring on the Soul Sisters since they were purple and teal tie dye. I don't know if the look of boots really sways you at all but it was a plus for me :)

The look of the boot definitely sways me hence why I love the soul sister and it's nice and narrow and how it already comes with a wrap liner is the best

I have both and I deff prefer the soul sisters. But just buying the tounges would be easier because getting new boots and dealing with the pains is fucking shitty hah

I rode soul sisters for the past three years and just got rumors and an 8 flex tongue and I love them. I like the tongue liner better than the power wrap too, but I have a nasty bone callous on my fibula that sits right where the power wrap liner hits so on that leg I had to wrap the liners the other way and it was weird.
