Default Board Choice

First off I only started longboarding a few months ago, I am now proficient enough to where I believe I need another longboard to go into a different discipline. I have a Gravity Mini-Carve 42 as a cruiser/carver. I was thinking of a Landyachtz Chinook or a Kebbek Ian Comishin to use as a multi-discipline carving and speed board. I like both, and they both seem versatile. I want a board that is versatile. I like the lack of a de-wedged tail on both models (compared to the Evo). I would be using Bear 1052’s and ABEC 11 83mm Fly Wheels. Are there any suggestions on to what board I should get?

KS scimitar. lol, really push kracked skulls. dunno if either of those would be best all arounders, the comishin is a dedicated speedboard, however i've heard good things bout the chinook as a free ride board. thats something to look into.

The Chinook does look like it would be great carving/free riding. I dont think it would be that great for downhill too.
