Jim,
Do you do your own maintenance on the edges? Does Peter check tune prior to skiing to assure that the manufacturer spec is in compliance? I'm perplexed that the tune is so different from the posted literature. The question is do you want to ski them and evaluate them on an "as-found" basis, or, bring them back to something more moderate like the typical 1/3 tune. For sure, I would get it clarified from the manufacturer. My gut feeling is that I would like a moderate tune in my initial skiing (that's a personal opinion folks).

One the really bad days I ever had on skis was following a tune by a shop with a great reputation. I could not believe how grabby and hooky my Supershapes became. Unsafe at any speed. I took them back the same day and they were fixed and just fine the next day. In that case, I did have a baseline comparison so it was clear as to what to do.
