I'm looking for a dropdown topmount deck to turn into a LDP-P (long distance pumper/pusher) board.

I've gone over pavedwave.org and have seen that the Evo seems to work out well for this. Any other dropdown decks that would make good pumpers? Dropdown only, not drop through since they're not as efficient for pumping (so no dervish pumpers).

Some boards that come to mind are the:
Kebbek John Caften
Landyachtz Evo
Subsonic Reflex
Subsonic Swift

I currently have a Pulse 40, and while the board is great on the flats, it's way too sketchy on hills with narrow roads/trails. It's also a bit more difficult to push/footbreak with since i'm wedged and risered up to the sky so i don't get wheel bite.

So, i'm looking for a dropdown topmount deck that's good for pumping, pushing, and decently stable down mild hills (I know i can't ask for too much with the super loose quick turning front trucks).

Also, please don't tell me to search since i'm a noob. I've done enough searching and there really isn't much about LDP on this site.
