I am looking at both the blends and the sir francis bacons, trying to decide between them. I skied armada ar5's last year, and they were a bit a stiff for just messing around while cruising. I am 6' and 170. I really want a soft ski to mess around on, but still rip. Are the blends, really stiff?

No, they are not all that much stiffer then the bacons about a medium flex i would say. The bacons are not as soft as people make them out to be, but they do get a little softer after you put some hours on them. They def. are a fun ski to just play around on (bacons) and are very quick and responsive, you def. can't tell that their 115 underfoot when you ski them.
