6'1 200 lbs advanced to expert skier...would the 183 be way too small? I currently ski the 188 S7 but want something a little more playful and versatile. I feel like these skis are both, but I would appreciate any other suggestions. Thanks

Hey Tanner, I'm 6'1" 180lbs and went with the 192's. I would suggest the same for you. If you're worried about the extra length keeping you from quick turns, buttering, spinning, I'd say that's a none issue. Plenty of leverage with our height and they're so nimble. They ski super short and they'll spin on ground just by throwing your arms. They're a really fun ski, easy to turn over edge to edge, and I haven't even gotten to their performance in the deep....genious.

Get others opinions as well. But I think the 183 with the rockered tips would be way too small for you. I'm 5'7" and 145 and they 183 feel great. They ski small with the close to center mount. I'd imagine you'd still have the playful feel and tight turns with the 192, but don't just take my word.
