What do you mean "multiple flex points all the way down to 70"? Generally, the more you cut the stiffer the stick will feel, not the opposite, so the longer the stick the lower the flex. Not sure if that's what you mean but that's how it sounds, also your first post mentioned cutting a 95 flex down to the height of an 85 flex, which seemed odd since the height of each would be the same unless one was an extended version. Either way, if I were in your shoes I'd keep the curve and go with the lower flex. I love the P90TM and have gone back and forth between that and a P28 and the P90TM wins it for me, such a great curve, just wish it were easier to find pro stock and sellers knew the difference between P90TM, P90, and P90T since they're definitely not the same lol.

PSH has tall 100 flex Jordie Benn FT3 P90TM, would only be slightly stiffer, but half the price.

I'd stick with the pattern and change the flex. Or I'd do a custom order and resell a few.

Give it some time. You will learn the TRUE "twist and turn" movement. lol

Just do a custom stick order.

Are you sure that's not just the pre order period? It seems really odd. If that is the case. Load up on FT5's.

This happened to mine. It's just the rubber seals inside the holders blade channel rubbing against the steel. It will go away at some point after some skating or what I did was just put a bit of Vaseline on the top sides of the steel where it goes in the channel and it'll stop the squeaking. It's nothing bad and won't affect performance just annoying sounding.

Do you have any friends or teammates or non-enemies who would let you borrow their 85 flex and see if you like playing with it? (or borrow it from an enemy, but then really lean hard into a bunch of slapshots with it.) After cutting the 95 flex you’re probably getting to be around 100, so the 85 might feel like a significant drop, but the trend for the past decade is people going down in flex. It’s all personal preference but using a ~100 flex stick just seems like a lot.

Damn that thing is ugly.

The ft6 pro measures 364 grams uncut on a scale. So it doesn’t just feel lighter

That is absolutely not the experience of what I saw in stores I've worked in or through talking to people playing hockey. It hasn't become a popular thing with skates until stores realized they could add it as an extra charge of pure margin to a skate that they started pushing people into lower end skates and making up the difference in price with insoles and profiles. I can say out of all of my adult teams, probably 5 out of 50 players know what a profile is and have had one done.
