Hi All, thx Gary for the welcome and input.
With regard to balanced position, during the flex (plumb bob) test I felt well balanced and centered to start. The issue presented itself when asked to flex forward with both legs. I felt like I had to lean or bow my upper body for additional leverage to get any visible flex. However, with one leg, I was able to flex the boot without coming off my center. Thus, my feeling that they could be just a touch to stiff. Jim, the fitter did try a heal wedge and there didnt seem to be a noticeable difference.
 
Maybe I am overanalyzing the issue. I guess the real test will be clarified on the hill as I continue to demo skis get my ski legs back under me after many years away.Quite frankly,
I dont think I could get a better fit...while stiff...they feel great  even at the end of the day my first time out on them!
 
Should the problem persist on the hill with any regularity, I will explore the boot mod that Jim mentioned or the binding placement option as mentioned by Gary.
 
Just curious Jim, how did your boot mod work out for you?
 
Thx all for the input.
