Ski Length

So my old skis are 181 cm 1080s, and for this year I really want to get a pair of Seth Vicious. I don't really have the money to buy new so I'll have to buy used. The only problem is that it seems like everyone sold their 179 Seth's, so I would have to go for the 189s. I'm pretty tall and everything (6'5"), but 189 is pretty long. I'd probably mount them at +5, with a big boot, what do you guys think?

you're a pretty big guy, you should be able to handle it, it will just take a day or two to get used to the length.

also, you can mount them closer to center, that will make them easier to turn and better for park as well.
