Yes, absolutely I take blade length into account when choosing a profile. On your shorter runner, you would loose some that 8.5’ at the tow and 11.5 at the heel. Lots of times I will cut a custom profile for the shorter blades, If those are the radii the skater specifically wants on that size blade. For you, since you went down and blade size and you want it to feel longer I would profile just slightly more than 70% of your blade length. Skaters are typically going with more blade on the ice these days and you see that in the new steel. The rear Portion of the blade is very square now days. Not like the old ls2…. that would be my suggestion… let me know.
