Just curious Jim, how did your boot mod work out for you?

Hmm.  It's been a couple of years now.  If I remember, the difference wasn't very noticeable. I had it done at the same time that I was getting some pressure points over the little toe and in front of my right ankle relieved, so it's hard to have a clear before and after feel. 
My real problem, however, was/is that I'm lazy and stand too upright rather than being more forward in a better stance.  Working on correcting my stance and getting pressure against the front of the boot has done more to help get pressure to the front of the ski than the flex changes.  Shin pressure against the tongue of the boot results in pressure to the front of the ski
