AR6 or Chronic

I'm going to be riding mainly park wih my skis but I like riding a bit of a stiffer ski in the park. Last year I rode some old dynastar candides which were ok but they were a bit too stiff for me. I'm 5'9 and about 135 pounds so would the 177 chronic or 176 AR6 be a better ski for me.

get the chronic, lighter, thicker edges, double thick base. oh yeah, most importantly, cheaper, especially if you buy last years.

New AR6's are IN STOCK at jibij. So... if you didn't want to wait for the chronics you can get armadas now.
