yeah, wren110pro is going to be a whole lot more ski than QST106s. Wren102s might be the more appropriate comparison. It would not surprise me if Wren102s float nearly as well as QST106s. My woodsman102s float better than a 102 ski ought to.
You sound like you prefer the woodsman for added versatility, which is a good choice. BG110s and other narrower RES shapes are not pure pow specialists though, they thrive in anything soft.
Woodsman 187s are probably going to be the same length or slightly longer than you QSTs - so the comparable size. They should be equally potent, but still have a lot of nimbleness and looseness in soft snow due to their deep rocker lines. I would not size up if you are concerned about / prioritizing skiing in tight trees/spaces, but 191s will have even better float and stability. I've only skied 182 110s, but they are not demanding. If they are any indication then I would not be afraid of sizing up.
Just keep in mind that ON3P's lengths are straight pull, not sole pre-pressed - so they measure in longer than most other skis (at least where the marketing department have not put some random number on a ski for marketing reasons - yes, I am looking at you Völkl and Dynastar (and prob a lot of other brands as well)).
