Looking for a similar feel to the old bacon's

I have a pair of the first gen Sir Francis Bacon's that I am mounting some AT's on and making them mostly bc sticks. That being said I'm in the market for a new one-ski quiver for the resorts. I'm looking for something with similar characteristics: ~110 under foot, super playful and buttery, sharp turning radius, a little early rise, etc. Anyone have any suggestions for any last year's or this year's skis that would be comparable?

I might be able to snag a deal on both moment's (pb&j's? bibby's?) and icelantic's (nomad's?) so if you have any comparisons with those companies in particular it would be much appreciated.
 
I've got a pair of 172 Line Elizabeth's with PX12 jib bindings (139-110-137).. they're super soft and really fun. Looking to sell them $350+shipping and they're yours. They dont have any early rise but they do have regular camber which does push the tips up a little bit when your pushing down on the skis. I may want to keep the bindings im not 100% sure yet.PM me if your interested

Look at Jeffery's I think. They feel kind of like a Bacon, but they aren't a torsional noodle like Bacon's were
 
I only demoed og bacons and thought they were a little too soft torsionally like someone else said. Fine in deep pow but sluggish feeling elsewhere. I am a fan of last years bacons though. If you liked those or are looking for something wide underfoot that can do anything, I'd recommend the opus. It's super sick. Do yourself a favor and at least demo it. Seriously magical.
