SV size

I'm 175cm (5.7ft) and I'm looking for a freestyle backcountry ski.
I think that Seth Vicious would be good but I don't know what's the right size for me.
Do you think that 189 (6ft) is too big?
I've found a new pair of SV 189 with diamir freeride bindigs for 540$
I've heard also that SV are bigger than K2 declare. Is it true?
I'm italian so I'm sorry for my English.
thanks

179s would work great for you, I have the 179s and Im 5'9" and you wouldnt want to get the 189s there just too big and the way K2 sizes the 179s are 183s
