I mount all my pow boards at center and I really like it. It makes switch riding really fluent.

Not at all! Its great if you want to hit pillow lines or hit BC booters. The only thing I don't like it for is when I am skiing a big mountain line thats incredibly steep...long tails aren't too helpful.

But I rarely ski big mountain; I'm more of a BC guy.

I think you'll be allright. I had a trip to Utah last year and I had my center mounted skis, and I never had problem with my nose diving or anything.

Skiing in the Sierras you might have some trouble with nose dive in the really deep stuff. 

I've noitced that in Colorado or Utah the snow is so light that you don't have to worry about your tips sinking so much. 

The amount of dive you have will depend on where and in what conditions you ski.
