i wanna get the tw pros because i ski mainly park but will ski pow or groomers if it snows(east coast) but they're more expensive than other full tilts. the first chair 6s are the same flex but are used mainly for all mountain and pow. how would the first chair 6s hold up in the park and would they be comfortable hiking rails and is it worth it to spend the extra $60 to get the tw pros? should i get the first chair 6s over the tw pros?

This is what you do:
1. Research in your area (or where you will be skiing) which shops are the best boot-fitters
2. Call them and make an appointment (budget at least 1 hour, maybe 2)
3. Trust their boot recommendation that is based on your foot shape, budget, and footbed needs.
4. Enjoy the best boot for you, for all types of skiing.

FYI- at this time of the year, shops do not have all boot options in stock. Some things are sold out already, so you might not find the ideal solution for your needs. Your best bet is do this in September/October when all options are available.

There is no other correct answer.

ha, no they aren't. The TW pro comes with the pro liner versus the performance liner in the FC6. The TW Pro also comes with the buckle style strap versus the velcro strap on the FC6.

OP, The TW pro is definitely an upgrade if you can find one for a similar price to the FC6

Oh sorry, let me rephrase.

They are going to fit your foot the same, hold up the same, flex the same, and they use the same parts. (Minus the super sick sinch strap and more rigid liner)

Except the pro liner and performance liners have differences in terms of rigidity. I can tell you from years of fitting the two liners in a shop that sells a boatload of full tilts that they do not feel the same on the foot (unless you're a newb who can't tell the difference)
