Should I get a 151 or a 154?

I purchased a 151 in the Flying V but now wonder if I should have grabbed the 154. Im almost 5'8 and weigh 150lbs. I have ridden a 154 custom (camber) for the past 4 years and sized down due to the fact that it has the Flying V hybrid tech.
I ride East Coast mainly (Vt, and groomers) but travel out west a handful of times through the year. Just wondering if its going to be too short for the powder days. Thoughts?

You may have some problems with the deep pow but you can also move your bindings back and put more weight on your back foot. or you can rent a board.
