Best Freestyle/Freeride Ski

Hi, need some advise.
Looking at getting some new skis, currently on K2 Recoils 174 (2012) with Griffon Schizo Bindings.
I want something that is super playful that I can take in the park, off piste and blast around on piste so generally an all mountain ski.
I have been looking at the Line Blend, Armada ARV 96 and 106 and also the Faction Candide (many options with these).
Some requirements with the skis are that they need to feel stable not too chattery whilst blasting on piste. Forgiving enough and playful in the park but not too flexy that if I take a big drop off piste I feel like I won't have much support and with off piste enough waist width that they float with ease, but still able to hit some boxes and rails in the park.
Other useful info is that I am 6'1" and weigh around 88kg (194lb) so recommended size of ski would also be useful.
Look forward to your help.

Look at candide 2.0, blends would probably be too soft, guessing that you are in europe (?) correct me if wrong otherwise would say kartels, or rayzrbladz. Sfb could be good, what would you say you prefer park or all/mountain free ride because any ski is gonna be a compromise on one side of that spectrum and excel at the other.

Yeah based in Europe, I suppose more all Mountain over park to be honest. Yeah something has to be a compromise difficult to get the perfect One Ski Quiver
