I am a bit bigger than you but I think we ski similarly. The question to ask is are you using skis to get around in the mountains or are you in the mountains to ski in cool places. If the former but a backland/f1/tlt if the latter buy the XTDs. I have XTDs and I agree they are not good hiking/scrambling boots but as long as you are skinning I don't think you are giving up a ton to the lighter boots for a big guy.
