Been wanting some Vishnu skis but cant decide which is best for me. I only ride park and I prefer rails but I do want to get better at jumps, I also want to be able to butter on them like crazy. I know that sadly I cant get both at the same time.

What is the difference between the keys and the wet plus?

I’d say your two best fits are either keys or wet+. The key is stiffer and better for jumps and all mtn. Wet+ is stiffer than the wet but flexier than the key. It’s more buttery but worse for jumps and all mtn compared to the key. Your decision comes down to whether you want a stiffer, but more capable ski, or a butterier, but less capable ski. If that makes sense

I haven't seen a dedicated wet+ review, but they're effectively a medium stiffness version of the wet.

I have also been wanting to get some Vishnu's. I want a ski just for jibbing, but I don't know if the wet will be too soft for me because I am 6,3 205 lbs. Should I just stick with the normal wets or go for the wet+, or possibly the wide or wide+?

will the + compensate for the 189 possibly being to short? From what I have read from going through a lot of Vishnu threads wets being the same height as you is considered short and 6,3 is just a little bit over 189 cm.

yeah the plus will still ski soft because of the camber but your knees probably wont blow as easily
