I currently ride a 168cm 8800 which are about 4 years old. I am 135lb and 5'7" an like to ski all off terrain. Should I go 166 with these? Also if I understand this model is a bit softer and more forgiving than last year so a good transition from my 8800?

I am on my 4th season on the 8800 too. It is still my trusty all mountain GS racing ski. I just demoed the Pro rider and really liked it. It does have a considerable softer flex and skied much better in Pow then the 8800. I have a 176 8800 and demoed the 184 Pro rider. I only weight 150 and the 184 may have been more then I need, but I did not have any problem.

That sounds like a great decision. This years legend is a little bit softer and more forgiving so it will be a great transition from the 8800. The legend is a much more responsive ski and you will be stoked on the upgrade. Go for it!
