Called ramp angle, I believe. I also recall Jeff mentioning to me that as long as the height of the front and rear bindings are within X mm, you're okay. Unfortunately, I forget what "X" was... 15, maybe?

Great report! I had a similar experience, w/ exception to the orthodox. I went to Stan & Dan's Ski shop in North Conway, NH and was fitted by Dan. I wear a 10.5 street show and he put me into 8.5 Lange's. The boot fitting took 2-3 hours and well worth the time. It was a custom fitting, he took out the lining and molded it to where it was comfortable. I was his sole focus for the entire fitting process, that's service! I never thought I'd be wearing an 8.5 ski boot that felt like slippers. I'll also never buy from a regular ski shop again. Shops that do custom work are worth what they charge, it may be a bit more money but well worth it. It would be wise to call ahead and see if an appointment is necessary.

Stan & Dan's is the place to go in the Mount Washington Valley area...

I classify ski shops on whether they are a "RETAIL OPERATION" or a "SERVICE ORGANIZATION" where it usually depends on the attitude of the employee's ...and not the radio/TV ad's...

I won't buy a ski boot anyplace but Stan and Dans. They take the time to fit and adjust them properly and any problems after the sale and they take care of you. I can't say enough good things about them!
