I am seriously considering getting the domain or halo because i know that they are both sick park skis. The only problem i have is that people are saying that the halo would not be a good choice for me because i am 6 foot 2 215lbs. Im not really sure about this but I would like to get either of these skis. Right now i have the k2 extreme 169 and people are also saying that it is really small for my heigh. +k for advice or suggestions.

I've ridden both, own the domains. They ride the same, the domains have a wider underfoot, which is preferable to me. it depends if you are going to spend all day in the park. I ride 50% park, 50% out of park. Halos are sick though, but the skis aren't going to make a massive difference in your abilities to ride whatever you want to ride. To be safe, go with a wider underfoot if you don't ride park 100% of the time, it gives you flexibility all over the mountain.
 
domain= soft

halo=stiff

with your wait i would go 176(more like 178) halos but that is just both are sick i think you will be fine either way
 
At your height and weight, I would suggest something stiffer. You'll be able to flex many park/ all-mountain skis just fine. Yes, 169 fpr your size is a bit small. YOu'll have much more stability with something bigger along a 179. Swing weight is just a tad more, but I guarantee you'll get used to it in a day or less.
For K2 sticks:
DOMAIN 179. Flat jib Rocker. Super stiff under the boot, but progressively softer tip and tail. Sick ski, but at your height and weight would be less forgiving if you land something backseat.
SIGHT 179. Snappy tail traditional flex with All-Terrain Rocker tip an tail. ABS sidewalls and thicks edges. This would be most similar flex to your Extremes, but with the easy swivel of Rocker.
RECOIL 179. More of a en even flex through the middle of the ski. Great center mounted and can take a beating.
Kung Fujas 179. It's wider at 102 underfoot, but many fo our athletes use it as their park ski.

 
Because your a heavier guy I would get the alpha 1 if I were you, don't be concerned that it will be too stiff for butters, I can butter a ski with a metallic matrix in it
