The ultimate board for TREE POW

Hate to be the guy that makes yet another pow board thread, but none of them really discuss in length pow boards that excel specifically in trees. I've done quite a bit of research already and have narrowed it down to a few boards, but I'm open to others if they're just That good. Here are the ones I've narrowed it down to, and my concerns with each. For some background info, I have a 156 Ripsaw as my daily driver, so I don't want anything close to it - definitely something pow specific and different. Let me know your thoughts, perhaps this can become helpful for others in my same position.
Salmon derby 156 - Read a lot about how this excels in tight trees, but the specs don't make think it's great for super deep pow. Minimal taper and setback. Feel this is going to not be different enough from the ripsaw - I don't want any rear leg burn. Also, I know graphics are ridiculous to base a decision off of, but I think it's pretty ugly.
Jones hovercraft 156 - Also read it has a tight turn radius which should be good in trees. However, I read with the short tail it doesn't have much pop( I love popping off of natural features), and much like the derby, I worry about its deeeeeep capabilities. Alot of the vids I saw of people riding it seemed like they were still leaning on that back leg a lot which kinda defeats the purpose of a pow board. Does seem like the derby and the hovercraft are very similar though.
Arbor shreddy Kruger 156 - First, this thing looks sick. Also seems like it will excel in tight trees and from some reviews I've read seems to be lively and great fun to pop off features, but it seems to be a little too soft. I ride Colorado resorts, and anyone who rides here knows, stuff gets tracked out somewhat quick so a soft board could be less than ideal halfway through a pow day when trucking through half tracked pow. If anyone could address this board when riding in choppy pow, as this is my favorite aside from that.
Thoughts on the perfect board for 90% tree pow, 10% open pow riding?! Sorry for the long post, but like I said, I've done a lot of research already and figured the more info I gave, the more helpful this could be for others. I did look at others like the Charlie slasher but these 3 seemed best for quick, tight turns. Remember, I want limitless float and top notch agility.
