Problem with a ski shop mounting

Alright so I got a new pair of AR5's and rossi axials and had my local ski shop mount them (perfect center). So I come back the next week they look like they did a good job so I go home.
I notice when I get home that one ski is mounted a little farther back then the other. My right ski is mounted perfect center and the other one is probably 1/2 an inch or less behind that.
So my question is do I take them back and have them remounted or just leave them? I dont think it will make a huge difference, but if anyone could give opinions that would be awesome. Thanks in advance

It prolly wont make much difference, but call them up and tell them.

yea remounting them, since you'd have to mount so close to the current holes, wouldn't really be worth it I dont think as far as compromising the skis strength, especially if it's less than half an inch different. definately point it out though and see what they say.

Leadd than half an inch shouldn't make any difference. You'll only realize it when you're thinking about it.

Alright thanks a lot for the input guys, I measured it and it is probably about 1 inch. I dont know if they would give me new skis either because I bought them offline =(
I will definetely call them. Thanks for the help guys

One inch is difference that isn't forgetable. See what they're willing to do and work with them.

it hsouldnt matter, you paid for the skis, they ruined them by mounting them in teh wrong spot and you paid for them to mount them, i think they should buy you new skis.

One inch is a lot. Take em back, make em remount em and see what you can get outta it.
