Jeronimos' vs. Kung Fujas

So I've narrowed it down to the two, originally I was dead set on the peps but Jeronimos caught my eye. So I'll be skiing park, all mountain and eastcoast pow. My biggest question what the Jeronimo flexes like, compared to the fairly soft Fujas (a good thing imo). For some reason, I can't go on the ON3P site on this computer.
 
PM me about the browser you are using, I just ran through our site with a few of mine and it seems to work well.
The Jeronimo is a stiffer ski, about a medium flex. Full specs of this years line (weights included) will come out once we have them pressed. Hit me up if you have any questions about the J-mo, I'll answer you when I take a break from pressing prep.
 
Looking at a couple different ski options for this season, still undecided on model and sizing. 5'10" 170lbs, agressive skier, love skiing switch on all terrain, 50/50 all mountain and park east coast with maybe one trip out west per year. Planning to mount at -1 (171cm) or -1.5 (181cm).
Looking for a mid-fat ski that will perform in the east, yet still be able to handle some overnight fresh or a couple days out west. Have not been on a rockered ski before, I'm currently on a 6 year old 168cm Rossi Scratch FS (110/80/103, significant camber underfoot) with a traditional mount that chatters at speed and sinks into any powder, just to give you an idea of what I'm coming from, so I'm looking for something larger, but a 181 feels like it would be huge.
On paper the Jeronimos (126/96/120, 10mm/25cm rocker, 21.4m radius, bamboo core) and Kung Fujas (125/95/120, 5mm/30cm rocker, 21m radius, fir core) look quite similar, any on-snow comparisons? I'm looking for a ski that's soft enough to butter but will still give enough support for all-mountain performance and stomping airs. So stiffer than a Line Anthem but not as stiff as a Volkl Wall or Fischer Addict. I've also looked at a couple thinner skis that would be more east coast specific, like the Armada AR6, but didn't like the flex profile (carbon stringers in the tail felt oriented for non-switch riding).
Final factor to consider is that the shop I work at is a K2 dealer. Any input from the ON3P guys or anyone who's skied on either model would be appreciated!
 
If you mount a -1 181 will not really feel all that long. I currently ski on 161cm Line Invaders (center mounted) and demoed a pair of 176cm Armada Pipe Cleaners (mounted 5cm back) the other day, and definitely felt the benefit of having longer sticks. I could have even gone longer. I'm 5'11" and 140lbs. and I'm planning on picking up a pair of 179cm Kung Fujas end of season. Do not fear long sticks!
