Kartel 108 sizing

I'm about to pick up some kartel 108s and I'm not sure if I should opt for the 186 or 191. I'm 6'3 170 and I ski hard. I like to spin and get corked as well as charge bowls. I will probably try to avoid rails though. I just demoed the 186s ( they didn't have 191s) and they felt really good but I feel like for my size and skiing type the 191s might be better. Any thoughts?

Go for the 191's is my vote. It's only 2 inches different

I'm 6'2 185 and i ride the 186. Unless I was using them for a big mountain comp or i decided to routinely send 20+ foot airs I wouldn't want anything longer. Super fun ski for jibbing but stable enough for charging. Best ski i have ever used out of 20ish skis i have ridden.

Get the 186. I'm the kind of guy who will routinely go for a 186cm ski. But I sized down on the 108, and love them. You are taller than me.

98kg here and 189cm (210lbs and 6.2 and a bit)

chatting to ON3P about my purchase due to mine being an all mountain ski and me having the billy goats in 192 they thought I should go 186 and perfect... fine in all conditions for me...
