Bdogs good for park progression?

I could get last years bdogs in almost perfect condition for 250€ so I was wondering if I should get them for about 90/10 park/all-mountain.
I live in Finland so not too much powder or any huge jumps. I have a pair of old faction prodigy 1's, which are 90 uderfoot. I like them but I'd like something a bit softer for easier butters.
I can do 5's, 7's and backflips quite comfortably and I can also do backslides and 2's out. I'm hoping to go off axis this season and I also wish to up my rail game. Basically just wondering if I should get the bdogs for that purpose.

Most skis won’t prevent you from progressing. Get the bdogs I’m sure you’ll like em.

I'm a similar level of ability to you and absolutely loved my bdogs. Such a fun ski, just wished they made a longer length for the taller homies! Don't be afraid to size up as they have a reasonable amount of rocker and are super nice and buttery

I’m in the minority for sure on these skis but I did not like them whatsoever and really wanted to because Phil is probably my favorite park skier of all time. The weight is the same as a 105-110 underfoot ski from most other brands, personally I’d rather have a wider surfier ski that feels more stable and fun underfoot if I’m skiing something that heavy. For example a pair of surface uppers or some icelantic nomad 100s are both lighter and wider. I regularly ride a pair of rmu apostle 105s in the park that felt snappier and funner than the bdogs. I sold the bdogs and bought a pair of V’s and have never once regretted the decision.
That being said, they aren’t bad skis by any means and a good deal is a good deal.
