I've had my set for about 4 years now and I've been pretty happy with them. My experience with the backs was similar to yours - no belly on any of them, though a couple were significantly hollow and took a while to flatten. I find them to be pleasant to sharpen and hold an edge well. My only real complaint is the huge lands. Some day I may get around to grinding them like Derek but I've been able to live with them so far.
