Replying to QST 118 or Bent Chetler 120 or Faction Candide 4.0/5.0

I want new powder sticks. Current powder skis are Armada ARV JJ 17/18. I will mount Salomon shift on -3...-3.5 from true center of either of these skis.

I need a good flotation, high speed limit, good performance on crud and a playfull character/flex to throw some simple tricks like 3s, butters, rodeos and flat spins from mountain features without too much work.

Which one of stated skis is better for my needs? Currently I'm leaning more to QST 118.


p.s. I'm from Europe and getting US made skis like ON3P and Moment - it's too expensive and imho doesn't worth it.
