Your insights are very helpful and much appreciated!

I am going to change the V76s to 3/1 and make sure they are in all-round good shape. I’ll also demo SL type skis (that won’t wear me out by lunchtime). I tried some a few years ago and will have a better idea now as to what to look for in them.

Let’s see if that does anything for the knees and I will keep a boot fitter visit in mind regardless.
I see no harm in putting a 3 degree side edge, but I don't think it will make skiing fast feel any better or worse; it won't affect how safe the ski feels at speed. How good it feels when your skiing faster is more about construction (unless you're trying to run them straight downhill and flat to the snow, then shapelier will make them swim).
