Need comparison of Bacons and Moment Rubys

I searched and couldn't find anything on the Rubys. I've flexed the Bacons in the shop and love them. I'd mostly be ryding in powder with these skis but with the sidecut and everything I'd ryde some groomers too and just all around when I don't use my Anthems, but mostly deeper snow, cliffs, switch ryding, BC jibbing, not much open face steep all ut charging though.
So right now I'm going with the Bacons but I'd like to at least know a little bit about the Rubys.
I'm 5'10 145 lbs. So I'd go with 182 Bacons (only size anyway), or the 180 Rubys.

I'd imagine the Ruby's to be somewhat stiffer than the Bacons.

rubys are actually pretty flexy, i dont know about the bacons, but the rubys have super high tips and tails, so they are super nice for switch in powder, and my friend that has them seems to be fine on groomers and park jumps.

rubies kill it everywhere. they are defintiely not what i would call a stiff ski. i have not felt bacons but they are a little bit stiffer that the ep pros. despite the soft flex they hold up great on hard pack and groomers. they were my park ski this year and were so stable and fun. though they are big they are so incredibly light its crazy. comparable to the fs wrs.
and for powder? HAH its incredible. they have amazing float and just thrive in the trees. the high tails make them great for switch riding. when you get into the steeps they are a little less stable just because of the softer flex. especially if a runout gets cookied out. but other than that they have been my dream powder ski. they can also rocker them if you want. there are a couple different options for that aswell.

theres the link of the review i did last spring or so.
I don't know bacons very well but I can very well say you won't be disappointed in the Rubies.
If you are not in the Moment Skis cult try to do that. there is even more info there.

I'm in the moment cult as well, got invited today. I just want somebody who has ridden or flexed both. If I post this in the moment cult everyone will just say Rubys.
