That certainly is an interesting point regarding differences in binding deltas.  I'm not sure what my Look PX12's and Markers are on my Dynastars and Nordicas, but according to the literature there is a +7mm delta on my Progressors with the Flowflex bindings (same as the FF14 that Todd mentioned).  Looking at the Tyrolia tech manual from a couple of years back, delta values vary hugely, from +3.5mm for the LD12, to a whopping +9mm for the Mojo 12.  This has made me curious about my other skis,  I will measure when I have some spare time.

Todd, thank you for the very detailed and informative response.  You certainly seem to be getting fantastic service from your alignment guy.  3 hours of on-hill assessment, and all that fine tuning.  Impressive!

In addition to bringing to light the differences in ramp angle, it was most interesting to read about the whole alignment path you went through, and how you came about making the changes.  You've given me some food for thought, and new sensations to be alert for.

And, no worries, I don't think I will be putting any temporary shims under my boots.  As far as that kind of tweaking goes, I'm going to leave well enough alone.
