Help with Armada BDOG size

I'm having trouble deciding which length to choose. I'm 5'7 and 156 lb, I stay 90% park and 10% in the trees.
Last 15 years I have been skiing with 178cm skis, always center mounted.. but the Armada BDOG 180cm seems long and 172cm seems too short to me. I consider myself as an "expert" although I don't go too hard, I like chilling. I don't go into big air so maybe I won't need the length.
thoughts or recomendations? thanks

Go with 180. They ski short with full rocker and true center mount. If you’ve been liking 178 you’ll be fine on the 180.

Size down. You will be able to spin faster and butter better. I am 6 feet tall, and a 180 bdog feels big when I ski them.

Can’t speak on bdogs. But my 183 wets seem to fit me perfectly and I’m 5 10. True twin skis ride short since the nose n tails don’t touch the ground while skiing

2 cm is a way smaller difference than 6 cm. id go up to 180 unless 178 already feels long
