Armada Halos or ON3P Filthy Riches?

I'm looking into getting a new pair of skis for next season and I've narrowed the decision down to the FR's or Halos. I will be using the skis for park only and mostly for rails. I am 6,1" 145 lbs and also don't know what size to get. I have been using Armada THalls in 171 for the past two years and don't know whether to step up to a 175-176 or 181 area.

All help is greatly appreciated and k+ for opinions

181 filthy rich if you do primarily rails. Ifyou want a more stable ski (that has a slightly higher swing weight), get the 186.

I'd get the 181 at your weight

go for the filthy rich. i was in the same situation at the beginning of the season and i regret getting the halos. i'm pretty much the same height/weight as you and the longer ski certainly makes a big difference.
