Worst thing that could happen is that you have to re-mount them so is not that bad.

they do seem to be more or less center mounted though. Kinda hard to tell from that pic though...

i bought a pair of atomic troopers that had been mounted three times all ready and we drilled them for a 4th. broke a ski in my little wimpy pvc backyard. i will never buy skis that have been mounted more then once now.

They look center mounted but there can be a difference between a 'center mount' and 'true center mount'. Ask a shop to center mount your skis and (at least in my experience) they are usually mounted very slightly toward the rear. "True Center" is when you have them dead center, with the front and rear exactly the same length.

Even if they're only -1 or -2 from center, why not try giving them a ski and see how you like before you spend the money on a new mount? If you hate it just get the new mount, if it rides great, then you got some brew money for later.
