Kartel 108 mounting?

Getting a pair of ON3P Kartel 108s and don't know where to mount them. ON3P says all their skis are designed for their recommended mount position but the kartel's recommended is -4.5 from center. This seems pretty far back as I would like to have a low swing weight and spin easily. I want this ski to be more pow/all mtn oriented but playful with the odd park lap. Sander sold me he thought -3 was ideal, any advice?

I went +1 from recommended on my 181s and will be skiing quite a bit of park.
But, I would go recommended if i had to do it again

Do u think they will still have low swing weight on recommended, I will actually rarely take these in the park and won't be doing rails. I want to be able to do spins easily. I can't decide between recommended or -3. When I ski I look for powder with my homies and just try to find cool natural features and practice 3s backflips and corks with grabs so I really wanna mount emmright! Any advice would be appreciated!

^Mine feel pretty centered, so I don't think recommended would feel too far back at all.

If you're not riding them as park skis, 100% go recommended. The sidecuts feels much better there than -2.5, still plenty playful.
