om...
I am looking to replace my 1998 custom 160. I need something stiff
enough to be stable at speed, but at the same time allow me to hit the
moguls. I also need something that floats through the deep powder out
west and also versatile enough to take in the park, but NO PIPE.

I have narrowed it down to another burton custom, ride timeless, gnu
genetics, never summer evo, donek incline

Not one of the boards you mention but maybe another option to consider...

I got myself a 165 Palmer Honeycomb last year and have found it to be a
good allrounder - stable at speed, carves well on hardpack, plenty float in
powder but light enough to throw about. Landed my first 360 on it last
season so it can spin. I was a bit worried about it's durability as it
feels very light but seems to be holding up fine.

I did find that it could be fairly hard work in the moguls if you were
feeling lazy or tired, but it goes well when you are attacking.
