great for park skiing, switch and stuff, bad for powder and not so great for carving(but actually works very well)

I think it really depends on how much you ski the mtn. and how much park you ski

I would only do center mount for strictly park skis. I have my 1080s mounted 1 inch back from center and they still feel good spinning and a better than true center for all mountain. If you only have one pair of skis mount them at the reccommended

also, i've discovered that when center mounting pow skis, the length makes the biggest difference, not the width
