Mounting my Line Elizibeths

I have line elizibeths and PX12s for this year and I am pumped for my new set-up. However, I don't really know where to mount them. Some people have told me to go for dead center, while others have said to go way back. I will be using them for everything. They will be my park skis, my powder skis, and my all mountain skis.I'm just not sure if I want to mount them exactly at center or go a few centimeters back. If you think I should go back, how far should I go?
Basically, where should I mount lizzies that are being used for everything?

ive had two pairs, both mounted at +1 from recommended. i use them everyday for park, 12+in pow, crud, everything, they're my only ski. depending on how big you are, you're going to get a little tip dive in deep snow, but it really isn't that bad. you shouldn't be buying this as a powder ski anyway. if you are, get the bacons instead.
recommended i think is 2.5 back from true center, so i wouldn't go any farther foward than +1. pollard designed this ski to be mounted at a specific point, messing w/ this too much is just going to take away from what makes this ski so phenomenal. at +1 you can still ski pow switch and tear it up in general switch. i ride them on rails almost everyday, they feel just fine. i got them mounted that +1 from center just because i wanted a little more ability switch. dont try to be cool at get them mounted true center.

I got mine mounted at recommended (2 back), and I personally would not mount them anywhere else. It is only 2 cm, and the profile of the ski is very thin. Even mounted at recommended, there are slight dimples in the bases from the screws. Center would probably cause a problem. I have yet to ski them but I cannot wait.

^this too, make sure you bring them to a legit shop, the profile is thin and i would think itd be pretty easy to fuck up the mounting

i strongly recommend dead center. same distance tip 'n' tail. Thats what i ride, they're so soft the tips bend enough to always stay up in pow. so don't worry about mounting them back for deep stuff

I guess i'll go for the recommended mount. I'm hoping it will feel good on rails.
