One lives or helix?

I can get either a pair of last years one lives already mounted twice, or a pair of brand new 08/09 helixes for about the same price. I have a pair of last years kung fujas's. They are currently lost, so these are really a replacement for my one ski quiver for this year. I will probably sell the helixes if i get my fujas's back as they are pretty similar, and eventually get a pow ski. With the one lives, i could probably keep them and use them on the deep days, but im not sure if i want a powder only ski that skinny (112mm). If you guys think that the one lives, preform as well as bents, s7s or other skis in pow, that would be a big selling point for me as they would be a good pow ski to keep.
Thanks!
 
I've owned both of these and have nothing bad to say about either. However, I think the OL is a better choice for a do-it-all ski. The Helix is great, but I actually prefer them in the park than in pow, steeps, etc. Also, the huge rocker of the OL makes them just as floaty in pow as a Hellbent, but maybe not quite as surfy, as they are a lot stiffer. I don't think you could go wrong either way. Oh one last thing to add, the Surfaces don't have very durable edges, whereas the Libertys are probably the most bombproof ski I've ever used
