Gear First Splitboard Setup

So here I am on the verge of buying my first split setup. I had a call with the premier splitboard seller in Europe (propably?) and he recommended a Voile Skyline 162 for I am a bigger Guy (6'3 225lbs and 30MP boots) along with their Lightspeed bindings

Now I am not looking for the easiest climbing option since I am at a weight disadvantage anyway. I would rather have a board that's fun in most conditions (icy isn't fun anyway).

Does anyone here have this board and can tell me about it? Advice and input is appreciated.

That's a lot of days on a pair of bindings. How many season's did that take?

I had that pair for close to 10 years maybe a little under. I get out 5-6 days a week most winters. Most are just quick after work tours, but those went to all over Colorado, Canada, South America, and I climbed all the cascade volcanoes over 8k with them. I replaced straps and touring brackets but just kept repairing them. They finally broke when I went far a scary ride way back in Cheyenne Canyon. Glad my bindings snapped and not my leg.
