I would buy the Gotama. I found last years, this fall new, but I think that they are pretty much impossible to come by at this point. Apparently al's ski barn bought all of the Gotamas from last year that were left over, and I got the last pair of 183's that they had. I have only skied them a couple times, but am super happy. Definitly my favorite skis i have skied. The new Gotamas also have a little more side cut which would be better for you when you are on the groomers.
