Watch Life vs Punx(OR other buttery skis)

So I have gotten mixed idea on WLs- some people say stiff and some say I will have no problem buttering them at 155ish lbs. I need a 170-173 medium-soft ski for jibbing/urban and using in park when I don't want to use my 181 PCs or 189 LL2s. currently I cut it down to these two skis(or maby another pair of 222 skis to go with the 118 waisted 194 charger I have been talking over with Michael). I am guessing I will here that Punx are a better choice(not sure though, that is why I made the thread), but whWHAT ARE SOME OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS? Oh and I hated Anthems when I skid them because they didn't seem to carve well at all or flex evenly, so not getting those.
 
Watch lifes, the 08/09 ones, are medium to stiff in the tail and medium to soft in the nose, you would definetly be able to butter them. I would recomend that choice.
 
I considered AR6s in a 171, but I figured since I have Pipe Cleaners I wanted something that was completely new to me. I also considered Thalls, but 08s are like invader soft if i remember right and 09s were really tempting, but again too close to PCs. I can get new 170 WLs for 150 so I will probably do that, just trying to force myself to finally decide so that I can stop thinking about it 9/10 of my time..
