Hard Charging Ladies Board

Hey folks:
I'm in the market for a new, aggressive ladies board and could use some advice (apologies for the wall of text).
After perusing the forums for a bit and doing a bit of research into old threads, I've narrowed my search down to the Yes. Hel Yes, the Gnu B Pro, and the Never Summer Raven. But to be honest, they all sound great and I'm a total noob at buying gear.
Before this season I was riding (very rarely) a 2002 156 Nitro Black Widow. Thought that board was the be-all-end-all as I cruised down some blue groomers until I hopped on my boyfriend's hand-me-down 158 K2 Podium. Ride instantly got better - super easy to get into switch, aggressive, carved like a dream. It was a bit too big for me though which left me leery on moguls or in trees so I used it in the interim while I shopped around. After demoing a Salomon Idol (not a fan) and a 158 TRS HP, I demoed a Niche Sonnet and fell in love.
Current setup is a 152 Niche Sonnet with Nitro Eris bindings. Still love the ride but I'm wanting something I can progress on even more. I feel I lose quite a bit of speed on the overpronounced magnetraction, it doesn't have too much pop, and it feels slightly less stable when I'm bombing at high speeds. I would wager I'm an intermediate rider, mostly trees and moguls, hoping to hit some steep doubles next year with some powder if the season actually decides to cooperate. I don't do any park (yet) but hoping to buy a Never Summer Onyx or Niche Minx after this season ends to start on that train next year.
So, any advice? Any ladies with experience riding the aforementioned boards? I'm 5'9, 150lbs. (Also, apologies for starting yet another "pick my board!" thread but you all seem so helpful I couldn't help it).
