So, got some 2009 181 MSP and 186 EHP. The purpose of them is quite obvious, MSP for every day except deep bluebird days. EHP all others (deep bluebird days).

I'm 80 kilos (176 pounds) and 1.80 mts (5.9).

Anybody that really knows where to mount????

been thinking on a -1 for the MSP and -2 EHP....

I'm about the same height and weight as you are and have the 181 MSPs that I use for all mountain. I have them mounted at +3, i mount ALL of my skis forward. Just personal preference, i really like having some tail behind me.

I skied a pair of 186 EHP's all year mounted +1.5 or +2.0 and they were great. I mounted them a little forward for the purpose of having a better switch pow ski, and they worked great for that. Have fun on those skis man, theyre a blast

If you're going to do a fair amount of switch on the MSPs then go 2-3cm back of centre, which is about +5 from the line. I set up a friend of mine on 171s +2 from the line for just cruising (no switch) and she loved them. I demoed a 180 and could only go to +2 or so on the demo binding but I would have definitely felt more comfortable further forward. Definitely don't go back from the line if that's what you meant in your post.
