Anyone been able to compare the two yet? I'm riding a 2015 155 2.6 with alt impact front end and have only really wanted more track maybe 3x in the past 2 seasons. 90% off trail and 10% on trail to either get to the mountains or boondocking around the house. Initially I was leaning towards a 163, but the 155 I have is just so well balanced. I've never had issues sidehilling where I thought more track would be all that helpful, and I like the playfullness of the 155. Now I'm leaning towards another 155 but I'm a little concerned that with the extra HP I will have a more difficult time keeping the front end down in the deep stuff. In other words, it'll be more like the my 146 summit where it's a challenge to keep skis down. I have heard rumblings of guys with SLP kits and turbos on a 155s complaining about needing longer tracks. Thoughts? FWIW I'm 6'5 and probably 210-220 with all my gear.
