Which is better for the exclusive park rider that mainly does big air?

the 2012 is the ski for medium jumps, butters, rails, it's just basically a jib ski. has rocker i the tips and tails. It has cap construction with no edge armour. Its 91 underfoot so it can handle all mountain
the suspect is best for jumps, since it is stiff. same specs and lengths as last year. It has edge armour. traditional camber

Nice, exactly the specs I was looking for.
And I'm 5'10, 140 lbs.
I've skied 161cm Volkl Kharma's for the past 2 years, and I'm finally making the commitment to a park-exclusive ski. What length do you think would be appropriate?
All mountain skiing - expert
Freestyle - intermediate
East Coast skiing

kinda a hard choice since est coast skiing has a large chance of ice and this wouldnt really handle well with either, but in all mountain and freestyle both would do well but but the 2012 would do better cause of being wider underfoot as for size with the 2012 go with the longest length 179, but remember it will ride shorter cause of early rise
All times are Eastern (-4)
