For what it's worth, I recently got in a pair of mako 2's and I have the bumps as well.  I never had the first gen, so I can't say whether these are better or worse in that regard...   Still love the skates though once I got used to the pitch.  BTW, I don't know if I got an odd set, but mine were at an 11' radius out of the box according to the local hockey monkey.  I stuck with that, but it still took a skate or two to get used to the pitch.  Coming from CCMs.
