Just mounted up my new Axls, which are replacing Hammerheads on my Helix skis, and the Axls are somewhat taller than the HHs. That is, the boots will sit something like 7-9mm higher. Also, the heel supports are higher relative to the toe pieces on HH, but not so much on Axls, which keep the boot soles pretty level, but that's a separate issue which tele.skier has recently addressed pretty thoroughly. Since what snow there is within reasonable range is going pretty fast, mostly not freezing at night lately, and becoming more scarce, I may not get a chance to try out this new setup during the tail-end of this season, but whenever this happens I'm wondering what differences I may notice due to this height difference.
At least it's about skiing.
