alright so i here anthems measure longer than they really are. im wondering how long the 171 anthems measure to or is this just with the 178 version and plus does moment make and sell skis over the summer? and are they at a discounted price than now thanks.

The difference of 1 or 2 centimeters won't matter at all.

bro, center mounted 171s (or even if they are 175) are perfect for you.  People are always glad they went bigger.

Totally different ski though.. Non-symmetrical, and way different construction.

I'm super happy that I went with the 174 when i did

I don't know why, but you comment made me think of...
-"I disagree, it's a very good game, but i think Donkey Kong is the best game ever."
-"Donkey Kong sucks."
-"You know something? YOU SUCK!"
