i have always been a huge fan of 4frnt and not so much of the scratch skis but it mostly on how you ride

you'll like either as long as you get them in the 180 range not the 170. thats just way to small for you bro

170 is way to freaking small if your buying such a fat ski. i'm pissed i got last years scratch bc's in 176 and im 5'9 145lbs.

Last year I had the 05 180 MSP's. I was about your dimensions/weight and if youre using them for park and pow...they are gorgeous..perfect!! I'm just pissed that the core fractured after a rather hefty bail..them I got the 06's in replacement and I hated everything about them, graphics, they were stiffer and the both tails started delaming after 4 mild days at summerski.
Hope they have fixed it for the 07 line...
See if you can snag a pair of 05's...best ski I've ever been on.

its not a big difference so shouldnt change anything really- its also about how you ride...

thats crazy cause i weigh the same

and have 170 msps from last year

and just got the 178 bcs but havent rode them

4frnt just fixed their topsheet this year, it used to chip

and i think theyre both overpriced at retail

if i was you id get the 178 bcs if you ride more pow

and the msps for more park, def the next bigger than 170
