If you move pivot point the way Prosharp advises to do, you are just tilting the blade instead of the template, so the end result will be the same?

The biggest problem with Prosharp profiles is that they are all pitched differently. (I mean "overall pitch") Pitch setting is the most important parameter you can have. You need to find that first. 20mm pivot point really means nothing if you are comparing different profiles. I am using True skates with shift holder and 1.5mm addition to pitch is needed (with ellipse) even though profile already has +20mm pivot point adjustment. If Ellipse feels flat, you need an additional pitch. After skating 1000+ hours with ellipse 1, quad 2 felt like downhill skis. Edit: I was writing that 9.5'-10.5' felt more flat than Ellipse, but reason could be more full toe and heel of the new true shift max blade.
