Double time or...? Looking for a firm park ski/advice

Okay so, I have liberty morphic's right now, and loved them until I got on my lil bro's 2011 180 double times. HOLY SHIT, they were poppier (sp?), firmer, and all around better. Literally could feel myself going bigger. Learned 7's on em that day, with confidence (and was skiing by myself).

Anyways, I am selling the liberties to get double times. My questions are:

1. Is there any other park ski's I should consider looking at?
2. Mounting? I will be putting griffon's on em, thinking like -2cm form center
3. I am 5' 7" 130, should I go 170 or 180? I am leaning towards 180cm

I would be using this as my resort ski except when there's serious pow pow.
60% Park 40% dicking around with people who don't like park (friends/girls/family)
My other ski (that I really like) are 179 4frnt EHP's (w/ barons mind you), they are a 40m turn radius, and don't turn, firm as fuck

+Karma for helpful insights or comical responses. Thanks

Has he skied on them?

Double Times are pretty stable.
They've been beefed up this year for extra durability. I haven't heard any cases of them falling apart besides general park thrashingness.

Go for them.

Fall apart? Mine snapped because they got stuck in a rail a couple months ago. This would have happened to any ski along with the fact they had been mounted twice and been used almost 2 seasons. Im confident in the Double Times but i dont recommend No Times/"these".

Ace of spades, poppy, lightish, bomber, and two sheets of metal for your firmness. Mount at center.
