Replying to Help me end my overthinking

Greetings,

I'm on the hunt for new daily drivers and cannot pull the trigger (it's been a couple of years). I have an older pair of 2012 surface new life skis (182cm) with griffons for powder days, and as for the other days, I've been going through older used skis (e.g. ARV 96s) that are missing new age tech and fun. Feet are sitting in comfy K2 120 mindbender boots.

6'2, 180-190 lbs depending on beer, donut, and pizza consumption.

I'm not a speed demon and currently ride 85/15 AM/park, but considering upping the park % a wee bit. I can land 3s but not on demand, and can spin on boxes..haven't gone to rails yet and not sure I will. A good portion of my skiing is alongside my slower partner, which has me licking my chops constantly looking for jibs and flying in and out of trees and off drops. I really want to work on butters and riding switch.

I've been looking at chronics, blends (too soft?), prodigy 2.0s, ARV96s (too stiff), poachers (too stiff?), alldays, and SFBs. Kartel 96s come up but I'm not sure if I'm steezed enough to handle them. I originally thought
