Custom flying v size

Hi guys,
I need some help with a new 2011 burton custom flying v.
Im 6’ 160 lbs, boot size 10, burton ruler and I’m riding mostly in NY and VT mostly blues and some park.
I got a nice deal for a burton custom flying v i wanted the 158 but there is only a size 156 or 160. I currently riding a 5150 163 wide that i got from a friend (first season riding but came from a surfing background) and it’s definitely not a good mach for me especially in the park.
what do you think would be a better size for me, the 156 or 160? would the 156 be too short? I want to do some more park but don’t won’t to loose too much control going down the mountain especially in icy conditions.

Since you were going to go with a 158, I would just go with the 160.  2 cm really isn’t noticible and you’ve already been riding a 163.  I think it will serve you better than the 156 for all around use.
