yeah, the SV is a great everyday ski. Go long and mount foward.
Mothership is a good ski, as well. Everyline I've ever owned fell apart really quickly. They maybe fine for some people, but they just aren't that durable IMO.
what size are you and where would you be skiing?

depends on the size.
I went +4 on my 189. I like it. Little bit of tip dive, but overall they ski great.
On the 179, I would go +3.

I have no problems skiing the 189 in the trees. Mounting +4 helps. For reference I'm 5'10"

If your 6' dont get the 179. go with the 189 and mount +4.
189 are easy to handle and much better at speed than the 179.
I guess if you plan on spending a fair amount of time in the park get the 179, but as far as all mountain skiing the 189 is just more stable, stiffer, IMO better.

Yeah, +2 - +3 sounds good.
If you plan on skiing a fair amount of pow, go +2.
If you think it will be more everyday use, go +3.

dunno. never skied the karma.
But most people I've talked to who have skied the karma say it is just so so.
also, why would you want something so skinny?

how do the SV's ski switch....as the new sidecut seems to be set up for going regular...does it hinder the switch ability?

Moship better than SV all mountain? Are you joking? Maybe you are thinking of Moship Ti which is replaced by the Prophet 100 (new ski but replacing Ti in lineup). Moship is a noodle compared to SV which is soft itself.
Since you are east coast and coming west once per year you probably want something thiner and stiffer like a Karma. SV you may find too big for every day use over there. Moship too much of a noodle for EC hardpack.

length should be determined more so by weight than by height.
A ski can tell how heavy you are; it can't tell how tall you are.

yeah, for sure i ve tried my friends for a couple of runs, and they have so much sidecut you can carve almost anything.
I own this years motherships and love them also, they are light for their size and i love the flex pattern. the tail bends like crazy so butters are really fun
both are great skis in and out of the park

Moships are really soft, I've never skied them so I can't talk but they flex really soft. Line has really good durability, and even if you manage to break them you can easily get them warrantied, you must have got a defective pair. I'll admit that lately line's had some problems with moving shit to asia.
