Rossignol Slat Mounting Point

I recently purchase a new pair of Rossignol Slats and I am very pleased with them. I had them mounted at -3 from true center and I'm thinking of moving my bindings to -2 or even -1. I do not want to do a full center mount as they have a directional side cut and visually more tip rocker than tail rocker. I've been reading a lot about Rossi skis and they mostly seem to recommend -1 for freestyle. The slats have a line at -6 and at -2. I plan to be riding about 50% park 50% all mountain. All mountain will consist of jibbing and buttering shit, dropping cliffs and doing moguls, and a little bit of carving around. I live in the east so pow isn't really a priority, although if have skied pow a crazy amount this year. If anyone has any experience with these or suggestions please weigh in.

Which one though? Maybe I'll just split the difference and go -1.5.

Yeah I got a sweet deal on mine. You can find them for pretty cheap, totally worth it i.m.o. They aren't really bad at -3 i just want more tails. They have a recommended line at -2 that I think I am gonna try. Contemplating -1.

Sorry I said -1 or -2 and didn't explain... I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that Parker White and C-LO ride at a -1, but don't quote me on that... Regardless, if you're comfortable on the -5 in the park, don't move it as it will effect the structural integrity of the ski.

Mounted a pair of slats 2 days ago at -1, they seem to do the trick.
