Is it okay to have a toe adjustment plate (thereby increasing the height of the toe piece) and not have a heel adjustment plate? Will the binding still perform? If so, what tradeoffs would exist given that one's toes would be 5 mm higher than the heel?

I'd like to use the toe mounting plate to create a touring setup that can be used by folks with different BSLs. The only thing that concerns me is that changing the mounting position again and again could possibly result in a mechanical failure (e.g, the screws holding the top piece to the mounting plate would rip out). i certainly would hate to be on a tour and have the toe piece rip out! is this mounting plate manufactured with the idea that it can screwed/unscrewed again and again?

In what scenarios would you recommend this Zero G 80 LT over Blizzard's Zero G 85 (or 95)? I'm looking for a ski for PNW volcanoes and the High Sierra in the spring. Thanks.

I need some help. I've decided on a Movement ski for the next arrow in my quiver, however, I don't know if I should buy this 89 or the 2019/20 85. I know that the tip and tail are wider with 89 plus 100 grams, but outside of those technical details, how different do they ski (and skin)? I'm looking for a tool to do fast and light missions, ski mountaineering (on mostly PNW volcanoes and Eastern Sierra), overnight tours, etc.
