Binding Mount HELP!

I just purchased a pair of Seth Vicious' and i'm debating where to mount my binding.

I'm concidering a centre mount, but i'm not sure how that will effect the performance of the skis. I ski switch as much as i ski forward, and i'd like to be able to attack the same pow lines backwards as i do forwards... But i'm worried if i mount the binding in the center the Vicious' will flex weird when skiing forwards and not haddle as well.

I really don't know where i should put the binding! Any suggestions?

Thanks

I went +4 on my 189 SV and it will be for everyday skiing. Some pow, some park, groomers, crud, trees, etc.

what size is your ski?

On a 189 I would go maybe +7.5 That is actually 2 cm behind core center. It should float ok when in pow, but if you go switch half the time it would be fine.

On the 179 +5 or +6 would be good. my 179 SP are mounted +6 just for park.

So, on the 189 go +5-+7.5, on the 179 maybe +4-+6.

Also...im kind of drunk so i hope that made sense.

If you want to keep some allmountain performance on the 179 I would go around +5. +7.5 wont float very well. +5 or so will still be dope going switch and maintain some of its float.
