Edollos, Keys, something else?

I'm looking for an "all around" freestyle ski if that makes sense. Something serviceable for low speed jibs and butters, for large-ish jumps and drops, and for a little bit of west side powder.
I tried Edollos and really liked them! I'd be happy with them for sure. But I feel like I could maybe go for something just a little bit softer and lighter, especially for me at 5'8", 140 pounds, so I was considering Keys as well. The N64 color is just also really cool 😳
Anyone have input on these two skis, or possibly another one that would work as well?

Edollos are a really good overall ski, also for pow. Idk a lot about keys, but if you want them softer and lighter, keys are a great option too. I dont think, that it makes that much of a difference tbh:)

I have both skis and the edollos are better. They have a lot of pop if u Ollie super hard. The keys soften up dramatically over time almost to the point of wet plus

Edollos shred the entire hill so hard to the point that I ride them 90% of the time even outside of the park. I’ve own 2 pairs and they hold up really well

Are they similar to the Bentchetler in that regard? I tried Bents and I really didn't like how stiff they were in the back. Not fun at all to pop or ski switch

Wildly playful ski. Be sure to detune the living shit out of it (tip to tail) tho before u try going anywhere switch.

Doggie, the bent's are an absolute riot. Super fun to pop, butter, ride switch, and no detune needed.
