105-110ish surfy playful ski recommendations?

Hi guys, my current quiver is a set of OG Coors Light K2 Presses for park, slush, rocks, etc, and Blizzard Peacemakers for basically everything else. I am looking to replace the Peacemakers with something a little softer, maybe a little wider, and something with a little less swing weight that feels more playful. I know that a lot of that contradicts itself, and that no perfect ski exists, but I'm curious about what you guys are riding in this category and how you like it. Shooting for 180-190 length. Again, this would be for all mountain fuckery and basically jibbing and airing everything I possibly can, with very few actual park laps done on these skis.

Faction Prodigy 4.0. It comes in a 186, and I find them super surfy. They're 112 underfoot, but they are pretty versatile. I am guessing they are a bit softer than the Peacemakers, but I am not sure. They're a good medium-stiff flex in my opinion.

The Blizzard Rustler 10(104mm) is the replacement for your current ski and the Rustler 11(114mm) is the wider version. Lighter, more playful than the Peacemaker but still can handle everything.

You have a pair? They look interesting, but I never hear much about them.

Candide 3.0 all the way. Super low swing weight, really playful flex, and it's capable of handling basically everything but I will say it's possible to over power the ski in heavier snow or when you're charging over rougher terrain and I've also broken a pair every season (I'm on my third but the skis feel so great while they're in one piece that I keep coming back. Plus their 2 year warranty hasn't failed me).

Kartels are actually quite stiff but I think if he got the soft carbon it would be perfect for him
