I absolutely love my Deacon 84's (182cm), here in New England mid 80's under-foot is a great daily driver width. I think it actually has a wider operating range on-trail versus the Kendo 88 because the Deacon 84 is superior on firmer conditions while also being good in softer conditions. K88 obviously has the edge off-trail and in bumps. I see far too many skiers on wide (95-105mm) skis and they never really go off-trail, I think they'd have more fun on a narrower ski.
Would you say day the 80 is the better choice forba smaller advanced skier? 5'5 160 lbs...I've had mixed results with carving skis. Love Mx 75, but didn't get along as well with the k2 disruption series and the older Vantage
I like that you mentioned that the tip and tail are S-Werks inspired. Looks like a fun groomer ski.

I believe so, the 80 is a great option for what you are looking for.
Audio is on the quiet side but other than that good video.
Recording outside is tough.
