Ar7 Vs. THall

Searched and found a thread but it was a 100lb kid asking. This past winter I rode the 2011/2012 T-Halls at a demo and loved them. What I'm wondering is if I could get away with the AR7 because they are a little cheaper. Is the T-Hall that much softer than the AR7? I'm just afraid that the ar7 will be really stiff in comparison to what I rode and loved for the playfulness. I'd be getting a 176 unless you think I should bump up to the 181 and I would be mounting them at the furthest forward recommended (i think it's just behind center).
Stats: 5'10, 140lbs, 55% rails 45% jumps, coming off a pair of Line Chronics, Skiing mostly in Pa.
Thanks

well i havent rode the t-halls but the ar7's really arent that stiff, i am basically the exact same size as you, and i love mine to death they are the best skis i have ever had so far, they definitely kill it in the park and the edges hold up amazingly too very durable imo

171 is too short man, you should be looking at 171's a 161 is pretty short for you.
