Some plates stiffen a ski while others allow the ski to flex nicely, even under the bindings. A flat mounted binding will typically cause a flat spot in the arc under the boot.
I also think that flat mounted skis change the forward pressure as the ski flexes, and as it rebounds; and can contribute to pre-releases on rebound.
