I'm planning on getting the Burton Lux...?

Question

I'm about 5'3 and currently (or was) riding the Burton Punch. It was a 145 (long story short, I wrecked by tail in the park lol). The only problem is, the only sizes that would work for me with the Burton Lux would be the 143 or the 147, which are both 3 centimeters taller or shorter than what i've been riding for the past 3 years. Which size should I go with. Both of them are in my "range", but which one would be a better board for me?

Additional Details:

I've been riding for about 8 years.

I tend to ride the park alot, and do mainly diamond and blue runs.

I don't get to a mountian that much, because of where I live but when I do I like to ride it hard and as much as I possibly can.

ANY INPUT WOULD BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED!!

Answer 1

Go for the 147.  A 143 would be too small for you.  It won't be stable at all when going fast.  A 143 would be better for hitting rails, but not all-purpose mountain or park riding.

Answer 2

I'd go with the 147.  2cm isn't so that much of a difference that you'd notice it a lot and since you're not strictly in the park it'd be better to have a bit more board under you shredding it on the diamonds.

Answer 3

I go with the 147.

I think you can handle it.
