6'0 Feet tall. About 80% Mountain 20% park. Looking for a wide ski, and am tossing my mind between the two.

those skis are so different from each other......
basically, how turny do you like your skis? super turny = SFB, semi-turny = gotama.

Those skis are amazingly different. Bacons are super soft and flexy, shaped like a snowboard and rides like nothing else that's been made. If you plan on dropign huge ass cliffs and skiing really fast it's not the ski for you. If you plan on having fun, turning, switch in powder, 180s off average cliffs and what not (pretty much if you wanna ski like eric pollard and who wouldn't) you should get the Bacons. The gotamas are more of a stiffer charging hard ski if I'm not mistaken (I may be getting mixed up on my volkl skis here)

yeah dude, those are so not even in the same category. reasses what you want to ski most of the time, and base your decision off of that.
