Alright the past few years I have always ski'd a 180cm ski. And I am possibly thinking about skiing a 175cm ski this year. Probably the chronics -2cm back or ar6s center mounted.
I am 5'11" 190.
Will there be a huge difference between the two sizes? I feel like the 175s may make me ski more agile, and better for spins. But the 180s will give more speed.
Am I over analyzing the shit out of this?

well if you will be center mounting stick with the 181s. the pros of the 175s are you will be able to spin easyer and get mor tech on rails but with the 180s you will be more stable on everything . I would stick with 180s and center mount them. and get the ar6s. best park ski ever

Ya your probably over analyzing it, but besides that a 175 might work well for you...
easier to maneuver, lighter, less swing weight,etc.
they will probably seem easier to ski in general...
also might prove better in the park

you weigh 190..there is absolutely no reason to get 175s. Im 61 180 and i find my 181 ar6s small

Yeah thats my biggest dilemma. 190 is pretty big for 175s I think. I may crush em. But it would be cool to whip around some smaller skis. I dunno
