Moment vice or armada halo 2

I just bought both the armada halo 2 and moment vice I have to decide between the two. I had the original halo and loved it. I am 5'5" and 150lbs I mainly do park. I love the style of the moments but I think the armadas will hold up better. Which is the better ski, and what are your opinions on the two?

 
I had been hearing a lot of trash talk about Moment's durability, so when I got my Vice's (this years) I was pretty a little nervous. But I don't know why I would be; my friends has been riding Moment skis since his Night Trains from 2009, which had the sweetest graphics by the way. But anyway, he's a very good skier, loves to hit the backcountry all day. He throws a lot of big tricks, nothing mindblowingly massive, but things like 360's 540's the occasional 720. He's got a switch riding fetish too, so stomping 180's is like his favorite thing. But anyway, in the last 4 seasons he's rode them, he has never complained. He even bought himself another pair of ski's: the 2013 Ghost Chant (no longer made, sad I know). If you are thinking about judging this from a point of durability, I wouldn't under any circumstances throw the Vice out of the question. If you're not one of those guys who complains about a broken ski after landing poorly or ski abuse and misuse, like I see so many idiots on NS doing, you'll be fine. If you know how to land, don't worry about it. I haven't been able to ski my Vice's, so I wont bother saying anything other than they look fantastic.

My question would be how much do you enjoy functional edges? For me I never quite liked the contact that moment has. I've got the Armada ARW's and Moment Tahoe's. If you live east, go for Armada.
