All-Mountain Twin on a Budget

I'm looking into buying a pair of all-mountain twin skis.

I'm around 5'9, 135 lbs and am on the East Coast.

Preferably I would be spending less than $600 CAD. I can get the Rossi Holyshreds for around $550 CAD, similar to the price of the Line Chronic, Head Oblivion 94, and slightly more than the Volkl Revolt 95s. I can also get the K2 Poachers for around $450 CAD.

Which of these, or any other pair, would you recommend?

Allplays are designed as a park ski and are on the softer side but I’ve been using them more for all mountain than park and really enjoying them

I’ve heard the poachers are wildly fun.. but I would honestly stay away from LINE right now, everyone that I know that has bought them has regretted it.. I would wait til the end of season and buy when sales hit

Armada arv 96 are some of the most fun all mountain skis I’ve ridden and they fall in your budget

Chronics are fun in park but not much else. I’d suggest revolt 95 if you’re skiing outside of park. It’s a super capable ski day to day outside of park. It’s capable in park too, I mean look at the athletes that ride it.

Is $450 CAD a good deal for the poachers? Usually they're at $600

How do the revolts compare to the holyshred or poacher then? The fact that those two are on sale seems compelling.
