NEED SKI ADVICE

After a 3-4 year break of not skiing a lot I'm getting back into it. HYPE. Im a pretty good skier, skied freestyle then Big mountain competitively before my break but now I'm BACK and need some ski advice.

im 6ft 155lbs.

Should I get:

Icelantic Pioneers 182cm

Armada ARV's 177 or 184 (both 96 underfoot)

or another ski (recommend, cheap= good)

I skied AR6's back in the day and liked them a lot, then got some big mountain skis that were like 108 or 110 underfoot and I liked them an ok amount but thought they were a little wide underfoot to be my everyday ski since i like skiing bumps a lot and these were just a little too big to maneuver quickly. I'm only gunna have one pair of skis so these gotta be good for EVERYTHING (park, bumps, steeps AND groomers).
 
I'm hoping this kind of helps.

i haven't ridden the AR 7s or any icelantics,

but ive ridden all mountain skis from K2, Line, J skis, the armada Bdogs and also a pair of rossis.

out of all of them my favorites are between the line blends and my j skis all play.

I love the response and swing weight from the blends but I can't ever ride anything again after my j skis. They are literally the most perfect ski for me. They're fun, buttery, responsive once they break in and do surprisingly well in boot deep-shin deep powder.

My blends kind of sunk in too much and made it difficult to use.

My vote is the all plays but between your 2 options and what I've seen from edits the( icelantics seem like a "better" all Mountain option.
