Help me complete my quiver

So I currently have a pair of ON3P Jeffrey 114's and am looking for a pair of skis around 108 in width. I plan to tour with these skis as well as ski inbounds with them so I will probably be putting a pair of shifts on them. What skis will perform well both inbounds and on the skin track.

Line vision 108 if you really want to save weight. You could try touring on the Jeffery 108 if weight doesn’t bother you.

What would a day look like where you're not going to ski the Jeffreys in bounds?

I'd either go narrower like 100ish or go with a full touring setup or both?

I feel like there's too much overlap on a 116 and a 108 to be worth it.

Any thoughts on something like the Bent Chetler 100

I haven't skied them but I think it's probably a great option.
Check this blister article doing some comparisons with the BC100 mounted with vipecs:

Moment Wildcat Tour 108 has gotten great reviews since it came out. Light enough for uphill and beefy enough for going downhill at speed. Solid enough for resort use too. Great 50/50 ski.

What you’re describing is pretty much what the bent chetler does for me in my quiver. Its super light and is my main touring ski but I still love to shred the mountain on it when I dont wanna go with my wider or heavier options. Honestly great all mountain ski
