Thanks John.  That's good info to know, and I'll keep a closer eye on our Fischers from now on.  I usually check this occasionally on all our skis anyway. 

And, likewise, I keep the Progressors at 1 & 3, but the twin tips at 1 & 2 (less aggressive tune for our daughter).

Sorry to hear about your problems.  Hope it's just a bad coincidence.  BTW, the only pair of Fischers that had flatness problems were the '08 RC4 Progressors, but the stone grind worked great on those, and they were dead flat afterward (although I only skied them maybe six times after the grind before I sold them).  Likewise my wife's P-8's -- the stone grind worked great on those and they are still flat after a whole season's use. 

All in all, I am impressed by Fischer quality.  Compared to other ski brands, my experience is that the steel edges seem to stay sharp longer and need less fussing with a stone to keep them that way, and the PTEX bases appear to be very durable and resitant to scratches.
