Skis like the 2017/18 QST 106

Recently wrecked my 3rd pair of Salomon QST 106 (the bright orange 2017/18 model). I absolutely love this ski even though I've had both the QST models that came after and tried many others.
Since I can't get that ski anymore I need a new one to love and I'm not a huge fan of the increased weight, stiffness, and damping of the newest QSTs.

Any suggestions out there for skis that are as close to the 17/18 QST 106 (preferably available in 188cm or close to that)?

I have not skis them but have read about their similarities. Unfortunately, not so easy to get in Europe.

I would be very interested to have some comparisons between any of the skis I mentioned above and these ones:
Fischer Ranger 108 Ti (the lighter pre-2019 version)
Black Crows Corvus Freebird (the newest version available in 188)
Dynastar Legend 106
Blizzard Rustler 10

Powder7 will ship to EU priority for $100USD slow shipping for $80 or something. You have a lot of other choices though which are unavailable or difficult to get in North America.

I'd recommend looking at the Atomic Vantage 107 Ti. It comes in a 189, I'd say it has a similar feel and weight to the older QST 106.

Dude! We are In the same boat! I recently got my skis stolen and am looking to replace them but have not found anything I like that can ship to Europe. But I hope you have better luck then me and get your skis.
