Domains or TC's?

So I'm looking to switch from my Punx to a wider (90+ underfoot) park ski. I've narrowed my choices to either the TC or the Domain. I've heard great things about both, but also that the TC has a lower swing weight. I'm 5'9" 150 lbs. I ski on a small ice hill on the east, so I really couldn't care less about all mountain performance. I also can get the Domains cheaper, as I'm really close with my local shop owner, and the shop is a K2 dealer, but not Line. So yeah. What's the verdict?

Personally I'd got with the TC. Supposedly they now have a sintered base for one and they'll hold a bit better and be more stable. I found Domains to be a bit floppy and thought they washed out a lot.

If you can find a pair of 2010 anthems, they'll be exactly the same as TCs. I rode a pair of those for the last two seasons, and I must say I really loved them

id reccomend the domains, agreed they are a bit soft,(well feel it cause of the eraly rise) they are so much fun. butters and surface swaps are super easy cause they early rise/0 camber.plus if you can get them cheaper id go with that

I know the specs and all the internet stuff, but I'm asking opinions from people who have ridden them. Right now I'm leaning toward the TC, but I need to find a deal on it.

To repeat my previous post which was pretty unclear i've skied both...for me domains were rails/butters only. Very washy, skied them about a week or so and didn't want to ski them any more. Bare in mind I'm 5'9 and 135 and i have loved soft skis in the past so not liking them was a big surprise to me. The base was almost unbareably bad.
The TC is the anthem but supposedly with a better base, which would be an improvement. When i skied the anthem i thought they were good, if not spectacular. They can butter everything, much poppier than domains, bit lighter swingweight. Just a better ski.
