Which would be a better for pow and trees in the east coast? I ski pretty aggressive but like to mix it up and like playfully jib around on stuff sometimes.

Benchetlers are a few mm wider, are softer and better in pure pow.

K116 are better in chopped up and variable snow. More durable and stiffer underfoot. k116 is more versatile but bentchetlers are a pure pow job ski.

^^^Pretty much nailed it. I got the chance to get back on my Bentchetlers today (mid march POW day) and quickly remembered why I love the ski. Surfy, buttery goodness. I've ripped them on some semi-soft snow days or days where there's a few inches on crust and they have always performed well enough, but the kartels may do a better job here.
