Is there a problem with using the wider brakes on narrower skis, other than having them stick out further which might be annoying? I.e., is it worth getting the narrower brakes for 90mm skis if I found a well-priced pair of bindings with the XL Plus brakes?

The wide brakes don't stick out very far for 90mm skis; that's the exact waist of my skis. When they fold up they also fold in and out of the way a bit. I say go for it.

that depends on your skiing style. you could run into three (or more) problems with wider breaks. 1st if you ski with your skis close together you run the risk of when you are skiing the breaks catching on each other. 2nd when edging you might drag the break in the snow. 3rd they could catch on branches and other stuff in the snow. that said, none of this could happen and they could work just fine.
