the obsethed is a more directional ski than the bent chetler, so if you're going to be skiing switch a lot then the obsethed may not be the ski for you. also, from what i've heard the bentchetler can pretty much shred all conditions, and if i was in your situation i would go with the bent chetlers.

Opus, jj or nordica patron would be much better choices for every day/pow skis

Yeah the bentchets are wider than the opus. The opus is just waaaay underrated in the versatility aspect. They shred pow but also rip groomers. They're noticeably wide and don't have that "turn on a dime" feel of the bacons but you can literally use them as an everyday ski or a quiver of one, if ya like wide skis.

Skiied the JJ which is similar to the bent right before skiing the obsethed.

obsethed kicked its ass, but i ski really fast and those silly 5 dim skis dont ski very big
