Armada ARV vs Traditional Park Ski

I was convinced on Halo's/THalls before now, but am now thinking about the ARV's.
I am 170cm tall, 143 lbs
I ski 70% mountain, 30% park and zero pow. Mostly crud since I live in Australia.
Has anyone skied the Thalls? How do they perform in crud?
Considering my weight, will I be able to flex the ARV's?
K+ for info!
Thanks

Well arv's are softer an wider then thalls, the width will obviously make them better for crud and as your light you will be fine with the flex. If the two I would get the arv for what you want to use them for.

175 arv sounds perfect for you, maybe get them mounted a tiny bit back.

Just look for the al dente that's pretty much the new version of the arv. There is the arv ti but that will prob be a bit to stiff for what your after
