Sakana Mounting

I just grabbed a pair of this year's Sakanas for cheap and I'm pretty hyped they look sick. I am curious where others have mounted these... The reference is about -8 or -9 from true center but it looks like its at the narrowest point in the sidecut and towards the front of the ticker portion of the ski profile. I know not to go true center, but was thinking about +1 or +2 (which is probably splitting hairs). I read some older threads talking about Sleepy going +2 but it seems like the reference may have changed in the past couple years based on what I was reading...

For reference, these are to replace my pow / spring crud ski which have been a pair of center mounted Rossi Sickles from 2011. The Sickles are definitely the funnest pair of skis I've ever owned and I am hoping these Sakanas will ride sort of similarly. I don't plan to do a lot of park on them, but definitely some.

Thoughts?
 
Go recommended, the shape is so extreme that it makes sense. I have mine at rec and they are still super playful and skiing switch is no problem.
 
I mounted at +2, honestly go with rec. They ski fine, but I get the feeling I'm fighting the ski just a little bit more than I need too.
