Does the Quiver Killer Exist?

Perhaps a misleading title, but I am in need of help from fellow members of this forum. I am in the market for a new board, but am having a hard time finding a good fit. Also, forgive me for the length of this, but I want to fully advise any readers who are willing to help.
First let me run off my stats:
I've been riding for about 5 years and consider myself somewhere in the intermediate range.
Weight: 215 lbs
Height: 6 '2
Boot: Size 12. Burton shrinkfit boots so they claim its an 11 on deck.
I currently own, ride and love my T. Rice 161.5 HP, but it lacks that fun lively feel that I crave on these small east coast hills. I'm mostly a speed and jump kinda guy that likes to lay down deep carves, but I want a board that can also be playful with butters and be able to jib a bit when I pass by the park and clearly the T. Rice is far from that.
I found something very close with the 2012 Rossignol Jibsaw, but I sold it a couple years ago and they stopped making them in a 160MW. I tried the following boards as well:
-TRS
-NS Proto HD
These boards just didn't do it for me, but I have a suspicion it was because the waist width felt very narrow for me. I only gave each a couple runs and swapped back out. It almost felt like I was standing on a 2x4. I didn't notice any toe or heel drag, but I felt much more stable on the Jibsaw and T. Rice as they are in a 260 waist width. To sum it up, I know you can't have it all in one board, but I am willing to sacrifice some dampness/speed for more play, but I still want to be able to charge hard when I want to without feeling like I'm going to sketch out.
The 3 boards I am pondering on are:
-K2 Fastplant: My only concern here is that I won't be able to pick up max speed on this board, but everything else seems to be there in reviews.
-Rome Mod Rocker: I am so ready to enter my CC# to buy this, but will the 159 be too small for me? Rome claims the weight limit on this is 200 pounds and the waist width is 256. Will this be a concern too?
-Lib Tech TRS MW: They finally made this is a mid wide, so maybe this is a good fit? I'm just unsure if the 159 would work or the 162 or maybe I should look elsewhere.
If you made it this far then I thank you for your time and your opinions.
