What ski size range should i be looking at?

I noticed that people here like longer skis and when I ordered skis from Ski Company in Rochester, NY, the employee that I was with said that a good size would be from between your chin and nose. So I got the Invaders in 171. I'm about 5'10" and 150~ lbs.
Now I've been watching SAC for some good deals on twins, what size range should I be looking at? Hopefully the Anthems will come out for this and I could pick that up.

word, thanks guys.
a quick question, would it be harder or easier to do 270 on/off with the longer skis?

As a general rule, spinning is harder with longer skis. But with a center mounted ski like the Anthems or invaders, they tend to ski a little shorter.

i reckon it'd be about the same, apart form a little extra weight theres hardly a difference, plus you'll probably have grown a little since your last skis and gained some muscle or whatever making it easier for you to spin on/ off

it's just that i'm having a slight trouble these days with the spins onto boxes/rails. It seems like I can only muster up an 180 at the most, i can't get that extra 90 degrees of rotation.

I actually go to the top of the head seeing as how it is a twin tip and how its center mounted.
