Replying to Kung Fujas or Sir Francis Bacon?

Csadder:
This is my first post but I have been reading this forum for quite some time. I've got a dilemma that was hoping I could get some input on. I am looking for a new ski and will likely be skiing it for the next 3 years, so want to make the right choice. Won't be able to demo unfortunately.

I'm 5'9", 165 lbs, and am an advanced skier. I ski off-piste 100% of the time if there is some snow and will pretty much ski anything (difficulty wise). Like trees, bowl, and bumps. I do ski the occasional groomer, but if there is snow you won't find me on them. I don't ski park. I have a 93 mm ski I can use on really bare days but will not always be bringing that one on trips.

So pretty much I want a ski that can do it all, but more soft snow oriented.

Also, which length? Was thinking 179 in the Fujas and 184 in the bacon.

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it.
