i would get a bigger board if i were you. 162 is too small espcially if you are in powder a lot. I am your size and i ride a 168. my previous board was a 163 and this is just so much more comfortable and absolutely flies

I would go for the Lib Tech TRS BTX, it rides like a dream and is stiffer than a lot of other boards with reverse camber.

I would say that yes, this board would be too soft for you. Burton rates this as a 2 out of 10 I believe, and for a person of your height and weight it would probably be a very soft ride. I would maybe suggest the Arbor Draft. It's a rockered board using "grip tech" to give you that edge bite you need in a reverse camber snowboard. I would also suggest getting at the minimum a 160. The reverse camber will make the board ride shorter on hardpack but longer in pow.
