Sizing for Line Skis

I am 5'4
115 pounds
Ski 50/50 park/all mountain(pow)
And I can easily ski anything on the mountain
The skis i am thinking about for next year are the Line Blend, Anthem and Chronic.
I really like how the blends are described (fat ski with freestyle construction) but they are sized a 168...
Is that to big for me?
The Chronics are slightly smaller (166) and the Anthem are (161).
If they were all the perfect size for me i would probably get the Blend but i don't know if they are too big.
Im also thinking about the (09) ar6...
are they too narrow for pow and other stuff besides the park?
which of these skis would work the best considering my description?
Feel free to suggest other stuff.

not really, they aren't a heavy ski by any means.. not feather light either, but definitely not heavy.

if you still growing i would say 168s would be fine.

I would go with the Blends man. you aren't going to be skiing until Novemberish and by then you may grow and inch or two, or even more.
You are going to keep growing and the ski will last you longer if it's longer.
You will find it will provide better float too, may make you a stronger skier and improve your riding all over. Go 168 and the Blends look awesome.
that's my 2cents.

blends sound good but im also thinking maybe the 171 anthems or 161. i want something that will be able to butter well in the park... feel free to suggest other stuff besides the line stuff.... how are the armada alpha? a rockered park ski... or the ar6, i also like the amplid antidogma
