192 Bent Chetler or 195 JJ? I currently have a 185JJ and as much as I love it, its too short(bought last year) for deep days. I ski a lot of moguls when theyre snow covered, tight trees, but just tired of the tips not staying up on deep days. Never tried Bent Chetlers but should I just stick with JJ? In either the 195 JJ or the 192 Bent's i know they wont be near as quick or playful as the shorter lengths but do the Bent's really have any advantages over the JJ's other than width?

The Bent's are softer than the JJ's which means that they'll give you a bit less tip dive. I love the JJ's for everything but the deepest and for that I really like the Bent. Hard to gauge the lengths but if you're > 170lbs/6' I wouldn't think twice about the longer length.
