What size revolt 104’s should I get

I’m in between getting volkl revolts in 180 or 188. I’m 5’11,130 pounds and like charging a lot but want to start playing around more so I’m getting revolts. I tend to like longer skis and my go to ski last year we’re 2009 Volkl mantras 95 waist 191 length (Ik those are big asf for my weight and height) but I had no problems controlling them on steeps and other stuff. The Mantras were a super hard charging ski with little to no rocker and we’re very stiff and heavy which weren’t a problem for what I was using them for. I had to retire them cause they’re old af (I got them used) and are drilled 3 times, and last year I broke my tib twice and fib once because my bindings didn’t release even though they were on the right din. This year I’m looking at revolts as my main ski and can’t decide if 180 or 188 would be better for me. I’ve heard they ski alittle shorter bc they have a bunch of rocker and that rocker allows them to butter easier even though they’re stiff at the tips and tail. I have a designated park ski so I don’t have to get these shorter for better swing weight, rails etc. But still wanna be able to butter, hit side jumps, throw 180s, 360s etc, while still having high speed stability. Any suggestions?

if you could handle a 191 youll have no problem on the 188, might take a bit to get used to since they're a different ski but id think you'd regret going for the 180 since your already so used to a longer length

I'm 6'3 and 230-250lbs and ski the 188.
I've skied and owned most 191 mantras, at 130 you cant really make them come alive, but at that weight and height I'm guessing your a few clicks above average.
