Kung Fujas - 179 or 189? FKS or Schizo?

I'm 6' tall and 140lbs and I'm going to get the Kung Fujas at the end of this season, but I'm kinda stumped on what size to get.  I'm aware the k2s run a little longer than advertised, but I'm not sure if the 189s would be to much ski for me or not.  I don't ski all to much park, but I prefer an almost symmetrical ski with a modern mount, so I don't think the Kung Fujas will disappoint me. Any suggestions would be appreciated. 

I'm also debating between the Marker Griffon Schizos and the Rossi FKS 140s for the Kung Fujas.  They are the same price and I like the idea behind the Schizos, however I know that the Rossi FKS is a great binding that will not disappoint me.  What do you think?

searchbar would have helped in this situation as there's quite a lot of threads on the fujas.

but.... 179 and binder depends on you. do you want to adjust your mount? yes? no? there's your answer....

That's my bad, I didn't know these skis were so popular! 

Thanks for the advice though. 

Does anyone know of any major issues with the Schizos?

Don't know if its been a common problem, but I watched a buds schizo's break right off the track. Could always just be a freak accident though

As far as size goes its all preference really. Im 6'2 and i have the 179s but they measure to about 184. I figured if the 189 measured to 194 that would be too much ski to be throwing around. But again its all preference. I ski about 50/50 park/all mountain and i got em mounted 3 back. Didnt get the shizo but kinda wish i did. Threw on the Look px jib instead. Works really well and so far i love em. Have had no issues with the ski and they're a lot of fun.

If this will be your only pair of skis get the 179 with the schizo for sure ...

If you extending your quiver with park/pipe planks already in the big get the 189 and mount between -1cm ~ -3cm from true center
