Pow Nas.
I havent been on them yet but my buddy rides his 90% of the time and is super stoked on them.
Nice and subtle tip and tail rocker, lots of sidecut , rails groomers and a fairly stiff build.
Seems happy doing any turn shape and smears at will...You dont stop playing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop playing

I'm skiing my 183 fat bros for the first time tomorrow on blackcomb... got them for my days off of the race boards. (days too deep for training...) but overall I think we were looking for similar skis.
My main priorities were float, maneuverability, but they still need to be able to open it up when we aren't fogged in, and then they need to haul the groomed. My moment bibby's hooked too much when trying to open them up in deep snow, and they just sucked on the hardpack.

I'm in the same boat as the OP. Also have EHP's that I love except for the radius, and willing to give up just a mini touch of charginess for some playfullness. I was thinking Rocker2 122.

Worth George, Response core, carbon blend. Depending on your size, might want to request softer flex. Akokskis is on them, PM him for details.

also the upcoming Rocker 115.
60% of the time, it works every time.

I had the reg184. but the bases were severely f-ed: Round and no edge bite. Although they ruled the trees, the versatility i wanted wasn't there.

Just came back from two days at whistler testing skis. What length are you looking for? I would be considering the Atomic Automatic or the Faction 3.Zero, but there are definitely lots of options, like the revised Influence 115, Rocker2 115, On3P Wrenegade, Surface Live Life, Blizzard Bodacious.
If you want I can probably borrow some Faction 3.Zeros if you wanna get a feel for them, PM me... the only ones to try are 183s tho. Probably shorter than you'd want but you can still get a very good feel for the ski.What do you mean why do I have duct tape on my skis!?! It improves edge hold, increases pop, adds durability, and most importantly, boosts horsepower by like 30%... what? your skis don't have horsepower?
