Posted below, wrong format, I'm 52y/o 5'9" 185# advanced intermediate, just got the gots in 176, but when they are next to my volkyl 168 5 stars they look the same size sans the twin tips, when standing they reach the top of my forehead, did i get them too short, does 2.75 inches longer in the 183 really make a difference? so 176 or 183?

You're stoked on that 176cm. While they don't look real long compared to your 5Star, keep in mind that they are way fatter. You'll have plenty of ski under you!
