I've recently bought a pair of Nike Bauer Supreme One90s ($800!!!) and found that I was sitting back on my heels a lot more than on the Graf 705's I had. I didn't notice it too much until switching back to the Graf... I noticed that I was positioned way further forward onto my toes.
This definitely affects balance on skates... so if you're used to one brand, don't totally discount staying with that same brand.
My thoughts....

You can get your blades profiled so they have the same pitch as whatever blades you were skating on. It generally costs about 30 bucks or so here in Calgary.
