I skied a day on these in a 178. Loved them. Confidence inspiring; skied faster than I normally do, & I'm no slouch to begin w/. I stand 5'10, weigh 180. Would I notice much difference in handling in the next length up? Looking to set them up w/ Marker Dukes. Would use them as my 1-ski quiver for Western skiing. I mianly gun steep cols & shred tight trees when I'm not sweeping long open turns on the the way to said terrain. A veteran of the days of misery sticks (e.g. Volkl p10 215s), I have no troubles w/ length in the bumps...that said, my current Eastern ski = Volkl supersport allstar in a 168...
