Armada vs Faction!

Hi! I've ridden Armada park skis for a long time, and I've always been very satisfied.
Now I want to buy a pair of powder-skis too, but I don't know what to go for. I also need new park-skis soon.

For parkskis, I've ridden the Armada T-halls now and been satisfied with them. I thought I would go for T-halls next time too, but now I'm also pretty interested in the Faction Wednesday.

ARMADA T-HALL vs. FACTION WEDNESDAY?

For powder-skis, I've never ridden any before. I thought about the Armada ARV, since I've been so satisfied with all my Armadas. But like the parkskis, I'm now also pretty interested in the Faction 3.zero.

ARMADA ARV VS. FACTION 3.ZERO?

I don't know anything about Faction, but the JJs kill powder.

There is absolutely nothing similar about Armada ARVs and Faction 3.Zeros. The 3.Zeros are stiff, burly fat skis and destroy the crud and pow. Awesome ski. I usually prefer longer skis (190+) but the 3.Zero's best size is the 185. This is something you could ski everyday out west (too big for the east I think) but I wouldn't spend much time in the park with it. These aren't really that light and are more designed for big mountain type stuff.

I would put these skis at opposite ends of the spectrum. An Armada ski much more similar to the 3.Zero is the ANT.
