Do Head Skis run true to size?

I'm looking to get new skis this year since my 09 Suspects are starting to fall apart. I am looking to get a bit of a wider ski this time around because I have been doing more all mountain over the past few years and I have narrowed it down to two skis based on price and reviews; Head Oblivion and Rossignol Slat. I read that the Rossingols tend to run a bit shorter than the advertised length, does anyone know if that is also true for the Head's?

Also if anyone has used either of these skis, what are your opinions on them?

cant really help you as i dont know, but im just surprised that your suspects have lasted this long! mine only lasted 2 seasons before the edges ripped out and the top sheet was pretty much gone!

I have Head johnny 94s that I use in the park and they run true to size. Get a good deal on head skis though cause there isn't anything special about them other than that they will take your warranty claim. Head has soooooooooo much cash lying around they practically give their skis away.
