Burton Alekesam or HTH?

Trying to take advantage of Burton's end of season sale and I see the Alelesam is about almost $100 less than the Hometown Hero. East coast rider looking for an all mtn board cruiser, mostly in resort and but may have a few opportunities to ride powder (rare).

Not seeing a lot of reviews online for the Alekesam but the few YT video reviews seem to say this is still decent on groomers despite it being marketed more as a surfy powder board. Tempted to give it a try given the price $377. I presume the deep price cut is because its not selling well. Any Alekesam owners out there?
