I'm more of an intermediate skiier, but I'm a big dude (230, 6'2), the width is a little daunting but would the 178s be too big for my skill level?

The 178s should be fine. But honestly, I'd go for the 183s at your height and weight. You're going to exert a lot of force on the skis, and the 183s are going to provide a big, stable platform for you. Additionally, those skis are going to give you room to improve your technique. The 178s would be kind of a dead end for you, if you start to ski faster or start skiing deeper snow, you're quickly going to max out the performance of that length for your size.
