Chronics vs. CRJ 1080 Pro Model

I'm getting new skis soon, and I can't decide between the Chronics or the 1080 CR Johnson Pro Models. I want a stiffer ski than my 04 Fujatives, but I still ski mostly in the park. I'm 6'3'' about 185 lbs. What's the better ski? If I go with the Chronics, what length do I need?

Im still learning how to spin. Thats why I like to go with shorter skis. My biggest trick is a 5 and I still suck at those. So, I'm a little concerned about not being able to spin fast enough. But then again, I don't know as much about this stuff as most people.

You don't need to learn how to spin fast, you just need to become confident with bigger jumps so you don't have to spin to fast.

okay. STL 183s or Chronic wide 177s or 187s. Or what other skis would you recommend? (remember, I stay mostly in the park).

will i be able to butter and spin alright with the 187 chronic wide? even though I'm tall, 187 seems kind of long considering i spend most of my time in the park? will i be alright to center mount a 187 chronic wide? what are other good slopestyle skis considering my 6'3'' height?
