i'd go 1 cm forward. what length wayback? how tall are ya/weight? boot sole length. a combo of those factors could make going 2 cm forward just fine.

Dynafits on the line. Why do you think you need to go forward?

I just find it odd you would mount a ski called the Wayback 1-2 cm forward.

My pair is on the line with Barons. Haven't wanted it anywhere else the past 2 seasons.

k2's mounting point on flat tail skis have always been marked a bit back of many folks ideal boot center on ski. atomic's have been this way as well, ime. i pretty much have always mounted k2's 1 cm forward for my customers unless they wanted to be more forward or on the recommended mark. i've personally skied the same k2 model mounted on mark and forward. 1 cm is magic. just that much better/quicker turn initiation and that lil bit of extra tail is nice when finishing, releasing from a turn.

Considering the mount point is still the same then if what icelanticskier is saying makes sense to you then yes.
I've always felt the flat tailed K2's had a lot of tail. I would not mount behind the line, but considering none of their tails point skyward at the end (no twin at all; all contact) I've always felt there was plenty of tail there...even a disproportionate amount if considering mount point relative to actual contact of most skis with a kicked up tail.
And if you stay on line and not forward it's relatively a bit less work for kick turns as well.
