Help me decide how to blow money on powder skis

Looking to replace my old and beat up K2 Annex 118, 184cm length. I am from the east coast, I ski Sugarloaf and Jay, and spend time in Revelstoke every year. A lot of people say you don't need fat skis like this for the east coast, but when the snow is good, I think it is worth it. And I like not having to rent out west. I tend to like stiff skis. My daily drivers (also my AT skis) are Line Supernatural, I thought the Sick Day was too soft. Hated the Rossi Soul series or whatever.
Anyways, I've been looking at the Black Crows Nocta2, because I like the look, But there's also a great deal on Blizzard Spur right now on steap and cheap. I've always liked how the annex was not as stiff as the Supernatural, but it still has some backbone. I'm thinking the Nocta2 might be too soft but idk. Has anyone tried them? How's the Spur? That seems to be marketed as a really stiff powder ski. Anything else I should consider? I'm not picky with the top sheets, as long as it rides good
