Do it man, you wont regret it! I am 6'4 200 and loved the Response 145, rode it for probably the last 5 years. I ordered the Nomad 160 this year and have not ridden the Response all year. The 160 does not even feel much bigger than the 145, I mainly notice it when grabbing nose or tail! The board is really light as well.
The landings are different but better on the Nomad. The board has so much more surface area that the board kind of gets pushed out front rather than landing and sticking like a smaller board. You can also almost ride a manual on this thing with that much more tail, you can feel it flex and ride it for a second.
