As an overall ski, I would choose ar5.

I rode both 05 models and loved both.

The Karma is a bit beefier, stiffness/burliness wise. It's a sick ski.

For the ar5, it's what I chose to go with this year. The '06, 181cm. centermounted with rossi axial 120's. It's such a sick ski, stiff enough for all mountain but plenty o' pop and flex for the park. Absoutley killin the pipe.

Try and ride both, see what fits you better. Personally, it's the ar5 for me.

I'd get the AR5's if you ski park a lot, but the Karmas are gonna be way better for all mountain.
