Binding experiment and theory…???

I am very “ANAL” and a little OCD’d when it comes to binding flex/size and how it affects my riding progression, comfort and performance.
My binding experiment:
Buy 2 different models (within a brand) of bindings in 2 different sizes and switch the base and high backs between the 2 to achieve different flex and size characteristics in order to get better comfort, performance and ride quality.
Park: Larger base + Softer flex _ Smaller High back + Stiffer flex
Freeride/Groomers: Smaller base + Stiffer flex _ Larger High back + Softer flex
My theory:
Park - Larger base in a softer flex affords better stability and comfort for boxes, rails, jumps etc. Smaller high back in a stiffer flex affords better control while still providing tweakability/mobility.
Freeride/groomers - Smaller base with a stiffer flex provides better response for charging and drawing out lines. Larger high back in a softer flex provides a “surfier” feel while still providing support.
Has anyone tried this…??? I know that snowboarders have been doing binding MODS for YEARS. But I myself have never done it and I am wanting to try this.
Any changes or suggestions to my experiment…???
I am thinking of getting the Flux RL (soft) in a medium and the Flux DS (stiff) in a small and switching the highbacks in order to get the results above.
