For an every day ski, the WC SC was not my choice, I'm looking for a slalom ski that is less demanding, more forgiving and with some versatility. I feel the SLR or Race SC would be better choices.
I've never had a chance to ski the WC SC, but I have skied the SLR and liked it a lot. I think it would do what you're asking very well.
Not to complicate your life or anything, but another ski that would be pretty similar in feel and performance to the SLR is the
Head WorldCup iSL.
It's a really powerful ski that's not quite a demanding for everyday skiing as Head's race stock slalom ski. Anybody who could drive an SLR as an everyday fun ski would probably also like the iSL.
