Nordica Ace of Spades vs. Armada Halos

These are the two skis I narrowed it down to, both come in right size and bth seem very playful/buttery. Let me know what you guys think I should get and why
 
I just got the halos two days ago. Im 5'9 and I got the 182, so i defenitly could feel the extra weight under my feet. Other than that they are nice and poppy, and have amazing swing weight. I mainly ski jibs, and some smaller jumps, but these held up amazing on everything. other than that the halos and aos are pretty different when it comes to their profiles, but i heard the aos is great aswell. I think you just need to decide whether you want rockered skis, or cambered.
 
While I haven't ridden the ace of spades, don't they have a titanol sheet in it? I would think it would be way stiffer than the halo.
 
AoS are an extremely playful ski in a different sense. They are ultra responsive, very poppy, and a very fast ski. They have a similar flex to the line chronics in my opinion but have a lighter swing weight and are lighter. They arent "buttery" but can still be buttered on with enough practice. Love my AoS.
