i can get a deal on some 181 addicts, but im iffy on the size. I'm 155, 5'10. i ski the east mostly and i  have foils for all mnt stuff (174). im agressive, but the addict is a stiff ski. any thoughts? and i rode 05-06 174 scratches last year (the stiffest the scratch has ever been), so im used to a stiffer ski, but not in a 180. 

thanks

Should be fine cause they are a symmetrical ski.  Extra length won't hurt.

The light weight kids at my shop that demoed the addict last year didn't like it because it was too stiff.  They were probably a little lighter than you, I am also not sure what size they skied.  I am 185 and  really liked the Addict.
