Magnus 90 vs deathwish 104?

I know these skis are not particularly similar but I wanted to ask because I have a pair of deathwish 104s right now but I really wanted a dedicated park ski. Anyways I got a pretty good offer on a pair of lightly used 2019 magnus 90s. I’m just worried that the two skis flex profile will be too similar. I need a ski that can butter fairly easily. Do y’all think the magnus will be good for buttering and as a dedicated park ski or should I find something with more flex?

There's enough separation there to form a quiver. Even if they're similar feeling skis 14mm is a good difference between them.

Yeah that’s what I was thinking, thanks. Do you know how soft/stuff the magnus flex profile is? Is it very much softer than the deathwish?

Magnus’ are fairly stiff. Probably similar to a dw104. Cool thing is they’re crazy rockered, so if you put in enough force they butter great

Definitely snatch up the mangos. They're my favorite park ski that I have ever ridden. They butter incredibly well on the rocker profile, while being stiff enough to rip fast and provide stability
