I am 6'4/ 190lbs. I ski 181 Baker SL now and looking to replace them with the 178 Manaslu's. What is your opinion on if I will notice the difference in 3 cm's? Second question. How much rocker does the Manaslu have compared to the new Waybacks?

You are a big skier for a lightweight manaslu, I would not ski a 178 for sure, and they do not have much rocker at all. Early rise tip. I think the waybacks have a touch more rocker, and they are also a touch burlier ski. I would go with the added length of the 181 wayback and slightly stronger construction.

Thinking this ski is too short for you given I am of similar dimensions (to you not the ski). However if you are not skiing bigger mountains or going super fast you are probably OK.
