Powder and touring quiver setup question

Hi

Currently I have been riding my 175 JJ's with Salomon Guardian bindings, but I recently picked up a pair of 2016 Bent Chetlers in 185 for an absolute bargain and I am now considering a few things.

My height is 5 ft 10' and weight is 148lbs and the 175 JJ's feel a bit short riding in pow and on groomers, however not a huge problem as they are very fun to ride.
In January I'm going on a 10 day powder trip to both Revelstoke and Kicking Horse, where we will do a bit of touring to Rogers Pass and other routes and CAT skiing.

Now I'm not sure if I should just sell my JJ's and keep the guardian bindings and put them on the Chetlers, or if I should keep the JJ's in the quiver to use for touring only and put some other bindings on the Chetlers like pivots or fks.

Thoughts?

If you do a lot of resort skiing, and aren't strapped for $, keep the JJs.

Sell the JJ's, the construction is very similar to that of the Bent Chetlers just that the JJ's are much stiffer throughout.
