Invader mounting

Now this might sound really stupid, but i don't want to mess up my skis, so here goes.

I just got a pair of 06/07 invaders, and have yet to mount them. I'm thinking because they're symmetrical it would look cool to mount one forwards and one backwards.
However, though the dimentions are the same, is the butter zone and construction the same both sides(tip and tail)?
I don't want to have one ski acting differently than the other.

i wouldnt do it look at the edge in the tail and look at it in the front. in the tail its were the two peices come together but in the front its all one solid peice so its alot more likley to blow out if you mount one backwards

watch the line invader video they ex plane it really good.
what they do is design half a ski, flex and every thing, then they hit copy and paste, so the ski is the exact same flex dimensions the works.

i see the edge difference at the tip and tail, but i wouldn't think that would really matter, because it's not like the tails usually fall apart anyway, is it?
