Not really. Which bindings are you putting on? I'm guessing they will be a four whole patern. You might even be able to use the old holes for the toe piece but probably not. I like going with the core center but of course if you want then a little better for park mount them a forward from that.

i think 1080s are really good for tele cause of thier flex pattern

A soft flex just tends to be more consistent which is nice for tele. Also a soft flex is nice for tele since you are generally putting less pressure on the ski especially your inside foot. I had some pretty stiff skis last year, the BD Havocs, which kick ass if you are hauling ass in powder but I didn't really like them in the park.

i think that the reason pocket rockets and 1080s are good for tellying is because the have a round flex pattern which is wat telli skis have, i dont think it has that much to do with thier stiffness
