Line Blend Owners?

barberdudeI need new skis. I'm 5'7", 150 lbs, and have been skiing for over almost 25 years. I prefer super soft, center mounted, symmetrical, wide surfy style skis. For your reference I've been skiing the Line Anthems (171), Elizabeths (172), Invaders (171), and the Surface New Life's (184) for Pow out west for the past 8 years.

The ski I'm considering the most is the Line Blend. I haven't been able to demo it yet, but it sounds perfect outside of the fact it's not fully symmetrical, which really bothers me. Has anyone had issues with this transiting from center mounted fully symmetrical skis? Would you recommend the blend for my style of skiing?

Also, if I poll the trigger what length should I get, 171 or 178? I primarily ski East Coast. I ask based on the early rise. I want them to be really really playful so I'm leaning towards the 171.

Thanks for the help.

Justo8484do you have midget feet? i'm sure mine are a little long for you, since i have the 185, but you're welcome to try them out if you've got a 27.5 boot.

I have mine mounted dead center, since they're primarily my park ski. I've skied them in 6" of heavy spring snow in whistler and they were super fun, and stable enough for how soft of a ski they are. My on3p jeffrey's in a 186 actually feel surfier, but also much stiffer, if that makes any sense. If you go for the blends, i'd definitely get the 178. My blends feel like toys on my feet compared to the jeffrey.
