Need all mountain ski help.

this is my first post on NS, so please don't go breaking my balls.
I need some help with an all-mountain/ park ski for next season. currently I have 179 seths, 178 scott p3s and line elizabeths. I was hoping to sell both the seths and p3s and get one pair to replace them both. Because I really can't justify having 3 pairs of skis.
I am 5'10" and around 150lbs. I find the seth can be a bit on the heavy side and would like something a little lighter and better at lower speeds.Don't get me wrong the seth does haul ass, but I want something more nimble.
So, my shortlist includes the following; armada el ray, scott punisher, line anthem and perhaps the armada arv.
I will be skiing out of whistler for the whole season if that helps at all. or any other suggestions would be great.

4frnt msp in a 180. one of my fav. all time skis. also, the new bridge by volkl is off the charts. really strong feeling. one more... line chronic blend. all of the skis i suggested are pretty stiff and strong. excellent all moutain boards.

i guess i forgot that you said nimble and fun at lower speeds... scratch the skis i suggested. ummmmmmm buy some surface watch lifes. good all mountain dimensions and they're not as stiff as what i was suggesting above. should be perfect for what your asking.

just what i was gonna say. ar6 would be good, arv is to soft i think to be a great all mountain ski.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think perhaps the ar6 is too narrow for what im looking for and the live life seems to be too wide at 112mm in the waist.
The msp sounds good. Is the flex of the msp similar to the seth?

if i typed live life, i meant to type watch life. it's like 86 or 87 mm or something at the waist. and for the msp, it's pretty damn stiff. much moreso than the seth. personally, i absolutely love msps, but if you want something that's going to be easier to use and fun at slower speeds, you probably won't dig them. they're soooo nice though, maybe give them a test ride. who knows, you may love them. i did.
