Crank Length?

Just wondering what crank length everyone rides. I'm 5'10 with a 30 inch inseam and 46 years old. I'm swapping out my 172.5 to a 165mm to give it a try. I've read that it opens up the hip more and is better for older riders. I've also seen a lot of stuff online about studies that show power loss, if any at all, is minimal. Has anyone else wen to shorter cranks? How did it work out?
