Ski most similar to K2 Marksman

No, I do not want Reckoner 102s.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately, there aren't many skis that are as soft as the Marksmen, that could still hold up all-mountain as well as they did. Lib Tech UFO 105 is pretty similar, same with Jeffery 102 (a bit stiffer) and, jokes aside, Sego Bighorn. The J108 also is pretty similar, but definitely not what I'm looking for.

Any other ideas?

The Jeffreys/Big Horns are both quite a bit stiffer/poppier than the Marksman.

The Reckoner 112 is actually much closer to the Marksman than the 102 if that's useful. It's fatter but it has more of that soft/damp K2 thing going on with it.

Lib Tech UFO 105 is the closest I can think of in the same width too. Or maybe the Revolt 104 actually, they have a lot of the same 'feel' as the Marksman, though both are lighter so they get bounced a little more.
