I'm thinking of replacing my old Rossignol FKS 155 with a pair of Barons. I haven't had the possibility to compare their mounting/screw patterns. Do I run the risk of getting the Baron's 'new' screws too close to the Ros's 'old' holes thus weakening the mount?

I wouldn't worry about it, you can remount up to three times with little to no concern. Especially with the barons which have one of the widest mounting footprints on the market, so the screws are more than likely going to be further apart, especially in the toe. You can also mount them further forward if you want to get flippy spinny, since they shift back 3cm when put in tour mode, or if you are going to be using them strictly as a touring ski you can mount them further back for better climbing ability. If you do decide to get barons, i would love to take the old bindings off your hands, for real.
