Never Summer: Cobra vs Heritage

So I've done a bunch of research on the NS Cobra and Heritage and am having trouble deciding between the two. I've also looked at the Chairman but it may be too stiff for my tastes.
I'm 30 years old, 5'10" and weigh 180. My boot size is 10.5. I currently live and ride in Colorado (Breckenridge, Vail, Keystone etc) but may be moving back to the East Coast (unfortunately) in a couple years, where I'll have to deal more with ice of course.
About me as a rider...I've been riding for 17 years and can go down pretty much any trail. I don't do jumps or parks so I don't care about that at all. I just like to go out and carve make turns and just shred. I don't ride super fast but I love to make aggressive turns and really carve the crap out of the mountain. I love to hit powder and steep runs. I also really like doing mogul runs and doing tight turns because I think for snowboarders they really push us to the limit of our abilities. So basically I want a board I can take down anything, whether it be powder, groomed runs, trees or moguls. I just like to carve and shred and be able to make, that's the main thing, but don't think I want the stiffest board either.
I currently own a Never Summer Premier 161, an old model from maybe 2005. I've basically "outgrown" this board in the sense that I feel I just can't shred as much as I'd like.
I've settled on either the Cobra or the Heritage, they seem to be what I'm looking for. I've looked at the Chairman (which I've heard is similar in stiffness to the Premier) but it may be too stiff for my tastes. The Snowtrooper looks good but seems closer to a freestyle board, which I don't want.
The Cobra seems like a big favorite, and seems to be good in the trees, in powder and at quick turns. The Heritage seems to be more aggressive and stiffer than the Cobra. So in a way, I wonder if the Heritage is more similar to the old Premier than the Cobra?
So based on this, what do people think may be a better fit for me? Also, how does the Heritage do in trees/tight turns? I've heard the Cobra is really good for that but haven't seen much about that for the Heritage. Thanks for any insights.
