Replying to Ski length

I am a 173 cm teen who is expecting to grow. Found that the arv 96 will suit me the best but im not sure if i should get them because of the 177cm length. I read their real length is actually 174.5 cm, is it true? I will ski them more next season cuz its alr mid season and I alr did my biggest trip, so should i go with the 177 cm or buy 172 cm edollos? I wanna ski bit of park, learn some jumps and rails but a lot of freeride and bit of groomers with those skis.
