Guys, what you think, what better from these two variants for 70% off-pistes and 30% on-pistes?

These models are possible to comare with universal all-mountains like Armada JJ 2014?

Theyre two very different skis.

The Royales have a much smaller turning radius and a larger rocker while being softer.

The Renegades have a long, subtle reverse camber and a very straight sidecut.
 
Renegades are surprisingly versatile, but are built for high speed shredding, straight-lines and big airs. Not really playful, but they are capable of quick, powerful slalom style turns. They are quite stiff as well.
