Currently riding some lime afterbangs 177s.. Looking to move up to some saloon suspects but the thing is they are 181s.. How much of a difference will that 4 cm make? Enough for it to be a noticeable difference?

Hard to say.
Personal preference -4cm makes a ton of different, +4cm not so much, after sizing up from a pair of 182s to 186s I'll never go back. It's just smoother, and feels better. Again this is personal preference tho.

Technically, as the skis get longer you'll get more swing weight but they'll be more stable at speeds and landings.

Wont make a difference at all especially if they are close to center mount. It will come out to like a half inch on each side of the bindings...you might even like a little longer ski better.
