PEs, Prophet 80s, or other?

I'm trying to decide between these two skis. I'm 140 lb and 5'9", and I'm looking for an "all mountain" ski that can do it all, but one that's especially good for ice and crud (I live in PA). I also have a cousin out in Park City that I might be visiting this winter, so that might influence my decision too.

I just found a good deal (from a fellow NSer) for 169cm 2006 PEs, but I think these might be too short. Any thoughts?

Also, I'm trying to keep the price down, so I don't mind having last year's skis if they do the job. I'm also open to suggestions other than the PEs or Prophets.

Another thing I forgot to say is that I can't really find any reviews of the Prophets. The Line site has a pretty detailed description, but I still wanted to get some firsthand user opinions, if there are any. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

you should pick up the freeskier gear review mag. But imho both are good for PA.

Yeah, I'm thinking they might be a little short...
