Full tilt tongues

So I bought some full tilt classics a few years ago, and the time has come for a stiffer tongue. I'm currently riding on a 6 flex, and was wondering if an 8 or a 10 would be better? I ski mainly off trail/natural jib stuff and I know could ski either of them fine, but I'm not sure if a 10 is really necessary. Which would be better?

How much do you weigh? I'm 165lbs and 8 is perfect for me skiing everything.

I tried a 10 flex and it felt like my tib and fib were flexing, not the tongue

My friend's seth morrisons with the 10 flex is a little too much for me. I ride a 6, could probably go to an 8 without issue. 190 lbs.

I ski 60% jibs/pow and 40park, used the 6 flex for a few days, couldnt bare it, itvwas awesome for rails but anything big was just impossible. I ride 8 and find thel perfect, tried 10, they're only good for racing or big moutain. Landing backseat with the 10 does not feel good at all.

Go for 8 dude, quite a big difference from 6 already, you'll regret it if you get 10
