get the 177s. 169 are tiny skis, particularly if you're 5'9"

I'm 5'10" and have had the 179 SP, PE, and Fujative.

I would say go longer for sure.

Mount close to center and you won't even notice the length. The chronic mounting point I'm sure is pretty close the center.

The longer length will do better all mountain as well.

ski the fujatives until they completely die.

then get new skis.

a ski can get fairly dead after lots and lots of use...the core gets really flexable and it looses its "snap" or pop in skiing terms...
