Skis very similar to the 2019 Bent Chetler

So I demoed a bunch of skis last season at my local resorts demo day. It ruined me. I've realized all the skis I ride are shit and holding me back. By far my favorite ski was the 2019 bent chetler. Super lightweight, turned on a dime. Buttered off Backcountry pillows. No chatter in the chop, cuts through the crud underneath. I just can't get over how well it rode. The 2018 version was missing 70% of those features. And I definitely can't afford the 2019 right now.

Anybody have suggestion for skis that are a few years old now that might ride like them?

I'm a very aggressive skier. I'll be using it for backountry, touring, deep days, post deep days, and just all around big sends.

I'm 6'2" & 170lbs. 24 years old, skiing since I was 8.

I always ski whatever piece of shit ski I find on the local classifieds so I'm terrible when it comes to knowing about what new ski to buy.

Current arsenal that I use:

2011 Atomic atlas 192, 125 under foot (super heavy)

2009 line anthem (super dope)

2010 Scott P4 181, 108 under foot (missing 8" of edge and allot of base)

Thanks
 
Honestly, no one is making a ski exactly like the 18/19 Bent Chetler 120. I have never seen a ski that is that wide, that light, and that has that playful of a mount point, shape, and rocker profile. Maybe I'm wrong (and someone please correct me if you know of something similar from the past), but the BC 120 is a unique ski as far as I know.

The Black Crows Anima Freebird or Moment Wildcat Tour might work for you, but those skis are still a bit more directional. On the other hand, I think they'd also be a bit more stable in chop / crud. The Line Magnum Opus is another pretty light, playful pow ski, but it doesn't hold up super well in chop.
 
Damn. I knew it was too good to be true. I'll look into those. Any other suggestions?
