under $200 you should look at some of last years twins or something used. You should probably stick around 162 for length, maybe a bit longer. Some affordable, good skis from last year are rossignol scratch sprayers (around $400-500 srp new), k2 silencers(around $350 srp new), Line Invaders($300 srp new). I think any of those skis would be a good choice. You could also look on the gear swap on this website, or on ebay. Some online stores like twin tip nation, getboards, d-structure etc. sometimes have older models on cheap. Also you could go to your local shop and see if tehy have any of last year's models, or even a 'big box' chain store, usually just sells skis cheap to undersell the competitors, if you don't mind going to those places. My friend just got a pair of 05/06 Rossi scratch sprayers for $280 with bindings at Sportchek. For boots, you can get away with just using your own for at least 1-2 more seasons. bindings, I dunno.....at your weight and since you are a beginner you probably don't need bindiongs with that hig of a din, so the ones you ahve will probably be ok.
$70 for those PEs is probly as good a deal as ur gonna get. 159 may be a little short, but they will last you at least a season. I don't think they would be too stiff. Plus the graphics on those ones are pimpin' and teh topsheet doesn't chip all to hell like my 05/06s
