Some other people have noted this as well to varying degrees. I currently have the G22 and my first impressions after just a day are good. I'll have to wait for my bladerunners to get back to compare the two.
This comes up all the time and it's really not that hard to center the points.

is this via flipping the center bar or something?

Yes. The G20/22 and Rambos are probably the only current production crampons that don't tip in to some degree.
Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
