perhaps not useful, but the Unleashed 98 is a close spiritual successor and comes in a 186. https://www.nordica.com/canada/en/men/skis/freeski/unleashed/unleashed-98-flat I own a pair and do like them a lot, though of course I am sure I don't ski like you. Likely possible to pick up a 2022-23 on sale still...

"p. Such is the case with the new 2023 Nordica Unleashed 98, and full disclosure, we were very sad to see the Soul Rider exit the building, but rest assured, those feelings of loss and sorrow have been replaced with emotions of joy and positivity. The technique Nordica uses in this ski is the combination of Soul Rider shaping and personality with a Santa Ana-esque build. They already know that the twin-tip shape of the Soul Rider works, and they also understand that Santa Ana has a very high-performance following, so why not mash them up and see what comes out? In our minds, the end result is one of the most fun and well-rounded skis of the 2023 class."

That said, Ski essentials generally says nice things about skis since they sell them but will be somewhat honest about what they're better for and worse for.
