In the Atomic video from the SIA tradeshow, the guy talked about them being a smaller Bentchetler... So yes, they have the same characteristics. which means they have the same pop rocker as the Bentchetlers. Early rise tips and tails, with camber underfoot. I am kinda wanting to take them out for a rip myself. They look like they would be a super fun ski for all mountain and pow.
As for you, I would say get the 185's.

the SFBs are a great ski, however they are soft, wide, and traditionally chambered. From what I remember, the Blogs are a stiffer flexing rockered ski, similar to the Bent Chetler but with a more free-ride goal in mind.

It has a really soft tail, medium-medium stiff underfoot and a medium flex tip.
I would go blog over bacon, just from the handflex and in shop review, blog looked like it would be a lot more fun in a lot more conditions.

I am 2 inches taller than you and i just picked up a pair of 189 obsetheds (k2 mesures long so like 192 maybe?) as my everyday ski and i am super stoked. I think if you go 177 you will regret it a year down the road. Just my opinion and it is of course personal preference.
