So I'm thinking about getting one of these skis for about 90% park and some off piste maybe. I live in central Finland so I won't be going absolutely huge. I have the prodigy 1.0 right now and I quite like them. I also like to jib around a little. I don't like absolute noodles though. If this isn't enough information I'll answer questions happily since I'm a bad decision maker.

I've rode Edollo's and Arv 96's for a couple seasons now and can say there's very little difference between those two skis. For me the Arv's ski slightly better all mtn thanks to the shape/rocker profile but the dollos shine in the big park thanks to stiffer tails. I'm 75kg, and both pairs hold me up well, if you want more of a noodle I've been told the bdogs are the way to go.

ARV96 is the most functional ski listed, I think you will enjoy them the most and get the most use out of them in the long run.

Arv is gonna be the stiffest and most capable of the bunch, while also being probably the heaviest feeling underfoot. Edollos are a quick second in stiffness, the past two or three models are much stiffer than the first few generations. Bdogs are of course going to be the softest ski of the bunch, more comparable to some OG armada Al dentes.
