Skis good for park and all mountain?

Been skiing on my Armada Alpha 1’s (178cm, about 96 underfoot? Maybe a little less) for like 5 years now and I think it’s time to make a change.
I’m 6’1’’ and around 180lbs, and honestly I love my skis and still enjoy skiing on them, but I’ve definitely been feeling a little less adequate in areas with deeper snow out of the park (as expected with skinny skis) but I’ve been able to pull it for this long staying back seat.
I’m really looking for something that I can go back and forth between the park and the rest of the mountain without having to think about switching skis. I’ve heard good things about the armada ARV 106s and the ON3P Cartels, but I’m still feeling uncertain and thought I’d come here!
Would love some sage advice, gracias amigos!!!

I'd go for some Kartels for sure. Just keep in mind it is a stiffer ski. Still shreds in the park though.

Kartels are stiffer and have a longer turning radius. This amounts to probably a chargier ski but less playful at lower speeds.

J Skis' Vacation "Brotherhood 2". Don't let the 104mm width fool you, for a wide ski this shit is outstanding in all conditions, from slush to pow to groomers to gravel. super poppy, butters like toast, and carves like an alpine but has all the park abilities.
