If the mounting in changed, would it effect the way the skate feels significantly?

I personally don't know. However, Bauer/Nike REALLY is lagging behind in the R+D department. Easton is constantly coming out with things that are insanely light and perform great. Mission is using newer technologies in their new Hex-1 sticks. Bauer/Nike are being lazy for the 05 line. The XXX glove is basically just a nylon XX glove with a pair of weaker palms. The XXX stick is just the Inno True-1. The XXX-skates arent a SERIOUS stepup from the XX. Nike's V-14 line is almost unchanged as well. The new Nike protective is as exactly as the old V- line(which isnt a bad thing....just lazy) but has a neon green color.
IMO, CCM/Reebok/whatever they are now and Bauer/Nike, REALLY need to get on the ball and come up with some "wow" stuff because other companies are leaving them in the dust technologically.
