Salomon Addikt Pro 66 vs 76

I'm thinking of picking up a pair of Salomon Addikt Pros in the end of season sales but I'm torn between the 66 and 76.

I'm 6'1, ~190lbs, fairly advanced, planning to spend all of next season in the French Alps (3 valleys) next winter, skiing most days and improving my technique in all terrain.

I already own a pair of QST 100s so I want to buy some dedicated piste skis / frontside carvers. My instructor last year recommended the Addikt line, and I'm drawn to these because of the emphasis on "fun" (versus the less wieldy race-inspired skis).

I'm set on the 177cm length.

But should I go for the narrower 66 for better performance in ice / hardpack (and I guess more of an "antidote" to my QSTs), or the 76 for a bit more flexiblity in afternoon crud / slush throughout the season?

Curious to know what others would do in my situation.
