Replying to Freetour Ski Recommendation?

Hi,

I'm trying to decide on a ski setup for tour/feeeride.

I am based in Scotland so a big portion of my skiing will be here with the occasional trip to Europe.

I'd say I'm a solid intermediate skier with no super technical experience. I'm not looking for the lightest or best performing skis. For my resort setup I've got Faction Prodigy 2.0 in 177cm and I'm quite happy with them.

What I value the most in a ski is playfulness and liveliness. I need skis that are not going to compromise much on the downhill performance, yet light enough to tour - ideally under 2kgs.

My height is 178cm and my weight fluctuates between 63 and 68kgs.

I have 3 models in mind so I'd appreciate any comments on them and their suitability but I'm also open to other suggestions.

The 3 are:
Salomon QST Echo 106
Elan Playmaker 101
Faction Agent 3.0

For binding I'm leaning towards Cast Freetour 2.0
