What Buttery Sintered Park Ski around the 90mm waist range?

I ski the 2015 shreditor 102's for powder and all mountain riding and love everything about them, they have a ton of rocker and flex but still have camber to rip turns. So now I'm looking for something a bit skinnier to ride for park. Off the top of my head there are a few skis that come close to fit that bill:

Filthy Rich - Pretty much checks all the boxes, just not sure what size I'd get considering the REALLY pronounced rocker (6"3ish 160lbs)

Faction 1.0 - Fits the bill well also, just curious about if the edges are 2.5 * 2.5 this year, I know faction has had issues in the past with durability

Batalla Park Reaper - Also fits the bill, just not really sure about what the flex is like

Any other input is awesome

FR - is what you want, 186 would be OK cause of your weight (they'll be able 6'1" in length, but the way ON3P measures their skis is true length after pressing, so tip to tail with no curve. If you take a tape measure, measure out 186cm or 6'1" from the floor up you'll know exactly where the tip will end).

1.0 - fairly sure they're 2.5x1.8, typically if a company puts 2.5x2.5 edges on their skis, they tell you. It would also mean they would have to get 1.8mm bases, which they would usually also tell you.

Park Reaper - I don't know much about these...seems kinda like no one does.

Yeah I've also heard that about the 1.0 as well.

As for the park reapers, I have them. 2.5x2.5 edges. Not gonna be near as flexy as the other two skis so if flexy is a requirement, I'd look elsewhere.

Armada B-dog would be another ski I would throw out there.

ridden and personally been in contact with a pair of 1.0's and they are super sick skis. edges might be 2.5x2.5 too... they looked pretty thick but I didnt compare them to my ski edges (which are 2.5x2.5). solid skis. Would recommend, but the pair I rode now has some small delamming on one tip and edge pullouts on 2 tips (East coast ftw).

they're 2.5x2.5, it says on the skis haha, I saw em in person, they're thick. Faction just dropped the ball on updating construction on the website.

I'd get the 1.0's to be honest... I'm really fuckin impressed with factions skis this year.

Current skis (K2 recoil) bit the bullet today after a nice sidewall blow out. Gonna go with ON3P since they use UMHW sidewalls whereas faction uses lesser ABS if I'm not mistaken. Thanks for the input guys.
