Binding adjustment for skis mounted with different boot?

So I'm getting a couple pairs of skis in the next couple days that were mounted for my boot's sole length, but not with my specific boot. Is it a bad idea to ski without getting forward pressure checked with my exact boots? Or is, say, a Technica 326mm BSL going to be close enough to a Dalbello 326mm BSL that it won't really matter?

I just really don't want to release mid-Twister again.

More of a question for Hawkshot but I would say your good to go as long as the BSL is the same. The shape of a alpine boot's sole is the same regardless of the make.

Like previously said by others, no adjustment should be needed but it never hurts to get them checked periodically. I have seen the forward pressure require adjustment from time to time on certain bindings so it's never a bad idea to check em'.

Should be OK, but forward pressure is easy to adjust in most cases. Just make sure the tab/screw in the back falls in the correct range and you are all set.

It should be fine, but like others said it's easy to check the forward pressure, even for an engineer. What kind of bindings?
