I just ordered the 189, thinking of putting the schizos on them this time so I can play around with the postion.
If they are a tad too long for me, would setting them closer to core make them easier to ski?
Had the 179, but they seemed squirly in the chop.

The closer to the core you get, the easier it is to turn them, so I would bet that you should handle them close to the core. That said, mounting at something like +6 would be about all this ski would ever need, and mean that the Schizo's wouldn't really be necessary. If you have the money and want them, then go for it, but otherwise, you will probably only ride them in one mounting position anyway.
