Need a "quiver killer" to add to my quiver

I don't necessarily want a "do-it-all" ski, but I would like a middle ground of sorts. Changing between a Volkl M6 Mantra and a Line Honey Badger through the day has gotten to be too time consuming, plus I have begun doing more traveling now that I have finished school, so I would like to have a ski that can go through the park along with the rest of the mountain. Right now I have somewhat of a shortlist but I want to see if there are any recommendations
 
I've been seriously impressed with the new Rustler 10, I moved the mount point up a little bit. It isn't going to perform like a park ski doing super techy swaps but it can hold its own.
 
Nordica unleashed 98 has seriously impressed me. very versatile twin tip. Had it out in about 6 inches of fresh at mad river a few weeks ago and it handled great.
 
ON3P Jeffery 108/100 depending on what width you want is a great all rounder. For something on the cheaper side of things the Revolt 104 was one of my favorite all-mountain/ park skis I've ever had.

How soft is the Jeffery? Of course it'll be way softer than the Mantra, which is fine, but I don't want a ski that produces a ton of chatter either.
 
Moment Wildcat 101.

A bunch of the moment guys rock it because in the park it’s plenty capable but still great everywhere else on the mountain other than deep snow. If you’re doing 50% or less park it’s the main ski they recommend that’s still useable elsewhere.

The Jeffrey is actually a pretty stiff ski. It doesnt chatter much at all. It is extremely park capable, i know people who have dailied the 108 in the park for a full season.

Its has the reputation for being soft because it has quite a bit of rocker- making it easier to turn and easier to butter than a ski of similar stiffness and less rocker.
 
It's stiff for people that ski soft skis, but realistic is a mid flexing ski in my opinion. The bamboo core does a fantastic job of absorbing chatter and the long rocker lines make it fairly maneuverable

Just putting it out there getting an on3p jeffrey 100 had caused me to sell almost all my other skis since i reach for it 90% of the time. Thinking of selling my wildcats and just going down to my jeffs and my touring skis. Unless you want a race ski to lay down some mean carves, or you ski waist deep pow weekly, or you tour, the Jeff 100 is my choice of ski for everything

How does they perform on firm? I have the 102's and I feel like they're really not good at all on firm days. It sucks because I love em otherwise. But in Colorado I've ended up on my Kendo's almost all days.

How do you like the Mantras? I ski Kendo's pretty much every day and absolutely love those damn things. Thinking about getting the M6 or the 102's.
 
They have a higher EE and less aggressive rocker so on paper better- and much better than my old kartel 108s. I still dont trust them 100% on hardpack- but then again if its anything short of an ice rink, no problems carving.
