For a better powder experience go with the 192. If you would rather play around, throw some gnarly tricks go 183. This ski is meant to be played with in the powder so personally I would go maybe a little shorter. You won't lose any float. You will just be sacrificing the ability to really open it up and charge hard.

I would say go with the 192 cm. Glen Plake said it best "Long skis truck, short skis suck!!!", The Bent Chentler is stiff enough but not too stiff to make the whole mountain your amusement perk.

It really depends on what type of skiing you want to do. Keep it shorter for a lot of tree skiing or backcountry jibbing, or if you really like to open it up then stay bigger with the 192. The ski is going to ski shorter with the rockered tip and tail, so the 183 will feel a lot shorter and the 192 will probably feel normal to what you're used to.
