Definitely a more carvey feel. I have tried 2 sets of the exact same ski, one mounted 2.5cm more forward than the other, and it was an unreal difference. I also ski a center mounted ski this year as my everyday ski, and to carve, you don't even need to lean forwards into your boot to make it carve. I just put my weight on my inside edge, and away I go. This happens because your weight is already forward from the center mount. The only down side, is that you have to adapt your skiing to the longer tails, so in powder you have to lean back more, and sometimes they catch on moguls and stuff. But I'm used to it, and I'll never go back to a traditional stance.
