Default Donek Web Site, 2nd Board recommendation

Hey, it looks like Sean got the site updated with the new products.
Excellent! http://www.donek.com/

I'm in the market for a 2nd board. I have a 160 Incline now. I like it
very much, but it doesn't do everything well for me. In particular, I
find it to be not very maneuverable in the trees, and it sinks like a
lead weight in powder.

I'm 5'8", 155-160lbs, 9.5 boots. Flow bindings at this point.

I mostly freeride, and there's not that much powder at my local hill,
but plenty of trees. I'm just getting into the park some, but mainly
just straight jumps. I don't ever see myself in the pipe, but who
knows.

I'm considering the Phoenix, but wonder if it is "all mountain"
enough. Looks very soft, and I've never ridden a noodle board before.
Would I be disappointed on the groomers and bumps?

I'm also considering the 156 Wide, thinking it might be a little more
maneuverable and should certainly float better when I need that.

Do any of you (besides Sean!) actually have a Phoenix? Can you
(including Sean!) compare it to a Wide?

Thanks in advance!

-- Robert
