I'd stick with these even though I'm a big Volkl fan. The true twin, center mounted Wall will be KILLER in the park and not-too-steep groomers, but will likely struggle in variable snow, trees, etc. To me, a true-twin, true-center ski has tails that feel too big and tips that feel too short when off the groomed. The Salomon Suspect is still very park oriented in design, but will have a more versatile shape for everything else. Hope this helps!
