I meant the 176, the the 184 will be too long. Sorry. I did not ski the 78 myself. Did you search over at Epic? Dawg most likely reviewed them. Make sure you check here too! Peters reviews are great. They seem more font side oriented but very good. I just read it here and it looks like a great ski. You may be able to get this at a great price as it wasn't a very popular ski. Don't confuse good for unpopular though! I would be looking at the following

Fischer Watea 78 or 84
Dynastar 10
Fischer RX 8 Fire
Volkl Ac30

Ron, do you think the Watea 84 would be suitable as the wider ski of a 2-ski quiver?  Keep in mind that I'm not going to be skiing in snow that is any deeper than boot-high, MAYBE knee high if I actually improve my skills enough.  The more I research this ski, the less it sounds like a 1-ski quiver solution for my uses.  I was thinking for the other ski, I could take a look at those Dynastars you mentioned, maybe a stiffer Fischer (RX or Heat), or an Atomic Nomad Highnoon or Metron?
