Best Twin board for powder (and groomers)

My search goes on. I have narrowed down my criteria for my next All Mountain board. (Not necessarily in this order:)
- Twin. I do more and more switch riding.
- Carving. I love morning groomers. And I have some ski friends I need to keep up with:)
- Powder. I love this even more, but honestly we don't get that much powder here. Once in ten years we get waist deep.
- Buttering. Nose/tail rolls and playing around. This is why the flex shouldn't be to stiff.
So a fun board that I can carve with and works fine in powder. True twin or almost true twin. And still medium soft and playful.
These are the board I have tested and (almost) fits these criteria:
- Lib Tech TRS HP. Have it all except powder?
- Jones Mountain twin. Not a true twin.
My prefs are 5'6" and 150 lbs. Small feets so max board waist is around 255mm.
I am borderline between 154 and 157 in length. The shorter gives my more playfulness and quick turning, but the longer gives me more float and stability. Hard choice.
Biggest problem is to buy these boards (hard to find here in Sweden) so suggestions of other board are appreciated.
