Mounting Bindings in the center of the ski is for people who specialize in doing alot of switch skiing and only ski park, If you center mount your mad trix, you throw away their all mountain ability, which I hear is very good. I too have a pair , and Im waiting to get the bindings mounted, and I am definitly going to mount the bindings where they suggest for the big mountain setting. You can still ski switch like this, but the skis work better all around, it really depends on if you ski the rest of the mountain.
