'15 Line Chronic or '14 K2 Shreditor 102

Now I know they are fairly different skis, but I can get either for pretty cheap and I'm having trouble making a decision. I'm a pretty aggressive, advanced skier, 6'2", weigh 195lbs, and only properly got into park skiing last season. Love messing around all over the mountain, and get off-piste quite a lot too.
From my understanding, the Chronic is a park ski that performs well outside of the park, and the Shreditor is an all-mtn ski that can ski park, but not sure what would be best for me. I'm looking for the ski to charge around the mountain, ski some pow, but also be good in the park. I want it to be playful for buttering etc, but not noodle soft.
So if anyone has skied both, which do you prefer?
Which would be more durable?
How's the flex on them both?
Thanks in advance

From what it sounds like, the K2 Shreditor should be a great fit. The wide waist width will certainly charge on the mountain and be great in some pow. The chronic is more of a Park/all mountain ski. The Shreditor has early rise to it will be easier for butters. Keep in mind the Shreditor will weigh a bit more.

I ride the chronic and i absolutely adore them, they are a perfect ski for all mountain jibbing and park, but for anything more than a a few inches of powder you'd be better off with different ski.

Okay, thanks guys. Should probably be bearing in mind that I'm skiing in Australia for the next few months, so not exactly guaranteed a killer season snow-wise.
Still haven't decided but I'll give an update on what I go for.

would would you say your percentage of skiing is in and out of the park?

Last season probably 60% all mtn, 40% park, and will be similar, but if anything more park this season I think.

Went with the Shreditors, read a lot of reviews about people using them as their main park ski and loved the pair that I demo'd last season. Looking forward to getting them
