Armadas really aren't very heavy. You need to look at the bindings on the skis more than the skis themselves. Also, of course a ski 20 CM longer feels so much bigger!

hahah 155 is snowblade material. but 176 should be the size for you. Armadas arnt that heavy of a ski....... but if your real picky on how heavy a ski is, there is lots of options out there.
Foam Cores along with the Atomic Tweak line.... but going from 155 to 176 is a big adjustment... its gonna take a little time to get used to the weight difference.
if you want a lighter binding you could stick with the Salomon but in my eyes Looks are ultimately the choice.... only because they are tried and true among all freestyle skiiers.

155 for a person who is 5'8 is way too short. It must be u to your nipples. Im 5'7 and i ski 170's. They are up to my forehead and fell like the perfect length for me.
