I totally disagree about the Cho Oyus skiing powder terribly. I'm continually surprised at how good they are and since this winter use them for way more powder days than anything else. I also have some 115 waist skis and now really only use them when we're talking knee deep skin tracks.
To each their own ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ha! It's all relative, I guess. I had the 180-ish version and found them to be all tip and no tail in deep pow (5'10", 165-sh, aggressive skier, but not a big hucker). Worked great up to about 6" of fresh, but beyond that I just couldn't get them to plane like I wanted/expected. To me, they skie like "classic skis of yore" (i.e., more in the pow than on the pow). And, the frequent reports of them snapping in half sealed the decision to sell. Mythics plane great. I wouldn't pick them for the deepest days, but surprisingly find myself choosing them way more than expected.
