A guy a few streets away is moving and gave me these:
180 rossignol experience 98 120 bindings
I'm 6'3" 200lbs , I think these are perfect or close to what is right for me?

Ooof, the Experience 98 is a big boy ski, get ready for a ride. Well, the price was right.
Between the SX9s and the E98s you have a quiver - you now have a hardpack charger and a soft snow/slush charger. I'm not sure either ski is right for you - but the bindings on both pairs are better than what is on the Bandit XXs and the Bandits were a performance dead end anyway. Beyond time they were relegated to the bin.
If this is the year that you get a good boot fit and work on skills, then you have something to get on snow with. In the meantime - gym time.

is the E98 too much ski for me, would I be better off passing them along and buying something else? Or should I experiment with what I have, might be a good learning experience?
The price is right if you want to keep it as a one-week-per-season ski, like a slush/cement ski. Yes, it is too much ski for you as a daily driver, if you're coming from the Bandits. There is no way you could realise an E98 skillset on a set of soft, short XXs.
That said, your presence on this forum has one overarching theme: you're skiing on a budget. Fine. Spend money on boots, and ski these stopgap skis you already have until your skill set develops. When that happens, find a demo day. You will then know approximately what you want within the various spectra of non-budget skis.
