Looking for Ski Reccomendations

I've been looking for some new twigs for next season but I am not really sure what I should get. I was looking at the line honey badgers and the line blends but after talking to some people who ride the skis I noticed that they kind of have durability issues that I am not trying to mess with. I would like a park ski that's more on the playful and flexible side but I understand that with my low budget (under 600USD) I might not be able to get exactly what I'm looking for. Any recommendations will be appreciated.

Fauna Omni.

Vishnu Wet.

Both are in your price range. Both will go on pre-sale end of season, if I remember correctly. Both are durable.

what's you height/weight and skiing ability? What type of ski do you like (stiff/soft)? The more info the better, it will help narrow down your options.

Seems like a big issue with sidewalls coming out or bulging on a lot of reckoners after rail abuse
