I am in the same situation as you, I own the 5'6" broadcast and would consider myself 'intermediate', I weigh 255 lbs. and am currently demo'ing boards. I have found the broadcast to be too slow and sluggish and dives/catches an edge way too much. So far, I have demo'd-IS blue, IS yellow lugi, IS green lugi, Phase 5 Oogle, & Hyperlite Coex. So far, the IS blue is my favorite hands down. I have the Shred stixx and the ronix boards on tap next, intrigued by the Mojo XL, but my buddies say it won't b able to hold me. For me, the blue IS with smaller fins so far is going to be the way I go unless the Ronix or SS blows me away. My 2cents, hope that helps
