Are you still growing, if so get the 175s. I have Trouble Makers and they ski all-mountain great. The pro models are slightly stiffer than the regular TMs, so they'll be even better for all-mountain.

Get the 175s. It will be hard at first, but learning to use the extra length will make you abetter skier.

They are the same as any other TM. With the pro models you get a slightly stiffer ski with better graphics.
