Replying to It's that Time again... Choosing skis

Okay, so I'm getting new skis. I'm currently skiing on anthems(171) which i had in new zealand which I'm really not enjoying. (finding them too wide, and just generally quite clumsy with them) the last skis I had were suspects. which although i enjoyed riding they died pretty quick.

So I've been looking at armadas. Really trying to chose between AR6s and Thalls. I've been reading about the flex patterns etc and still finding it quite hard to decide. I probably ski about 80% park boxes and rails equally but do enjoy skiing pow when its there. I still want a reasonably playful ski but just having a tough time deciding.

any advice will be appreciated.

also I'm about 178cm and 66kg. I'm guessing i should be gong for 176s even though I prefer something slightly shorter generally. how do armadas measure up from tip to tail? for example the 171 suspects measure at like a 168 and the anthems measure to like 173 i know its not a big issue but still nice to know.
