Armada ARV vs. K2 Sight/poacher

So I've got 2 park skis - the ARW 96, and the K2 Missconduct 88. I guess the men's versions would be the ARV and K2 Sight...

I'm curious about the pros and cons, comparing the 2 skis. I'm somewhat new to park riding so I'm always interested to hear others' opinions on ski preference

I've noticed K2s are stiffer and have more of a quick/snappy pop to them, whereas the ARW's are softer and easier to butter.

I'm still trying to figure out which ones I prefer, and how the different flex/stiffness can benefit certain aspects of jibbing/popping, and landing bigger jumps

Obviously a good park skier can still nail tricks regardless of ski type....don't roast me I'm just a total gear nerd I can't help it lol
 
As someone who has skied neither of these I have nothing directly helpful. BUT as a fellow gear nerd I would say that you’ll probably end up preferring different skis depending on where you are skiing / who you are with / how you are feeling on any particular day. I own two very different skis and change my mind on which is better weekly.
 
if you have to go one way or the other, do you prefer your ski to be a little softer or stiffer compared to the other option? assuming they're like their male counterparts, both are great medium flex skis but the ARV will be a little softer than the K2
