well that depends i rode PE's last year and they were a lil stiff for a lot of park and the karma's are stiffer like the person above said but how much park per allmtn percentage are you that would help cuz there are a few more skis you should considder if its like around a 50/50 split

20% Park, 80% All Mountain. Most of the freestyle stuff I do is all natural.

PE's are too floppy for anything that resembles charging;  you should look at the Karma or Mojo 90.

I'm 5'10 bout 135. With the Karma, size wise it's either 169 or 177, a little too small and a little too big. Suggestions?

177's would be about right.  My sister is smaller than you and rides the 169's, so if you go for those then, well....that will be kind of funny.  Keep in mind that they're a twin tip so you lose a lot of running surface through that (they're really more like 171-173).
