Which Bindings?

I'm trying to figure out which bindings would be a good match for my new Titan Nines. This ski will be used as my everyday ski. No huge hucks and probably wont be abused too bad, so I dont need something super burly like a p18, or fks155. I'm a little worried about this years looks. Ive heard many complaints about them, so I may be looking to something else. Heres what I've picked out so far.
Salomon S912s-$125
Look PX12-$150
Fischer X 14/17-$150/$200
Blizzard IQ514-$??
Tyrolia Mojo 15-$150

What do you guys think of these bindings?Thanks

Stay away form the S912s or whatever they are, lots of bad reports and first hand experience with those, dont know what you heard about look, I missed it, cant tell you on the other ones

"s912's or whatever they are" sounds like great first hand experience.
I use the s912's and they work great with no problems

snapped the titanium track on not one, but 3 occasions on the s912ti's, exploded 4 pairs of brakes, had the bindings pre-release so fucking much, and the toepiece vertical pressure screw strip, and my boots rattle around.
theres a first hand experience for you.

oh, plus the toepiece wings slowly loosen with use, becomes a pain in the ass, and i had an entire toepiece snap off.

all of which was warrenteed, i might add, but i sold my s912ti's quckly, go look/rossi.

thats funny dude, some of us dont have cash to throw around for another pair of bindings when the first pair can be warrenteed. and, now, i only ride p18s/fks 185s, i was letting somebody know how shitty solomon bindings are (exception:s916), so you can shut the fuck up. i was like 14, i couldnt afford to switch bindings.

Px12's or the mojo's in my opinion. Although the only binding I care to use is the Rossi FKS series racestock. They are worth the investment. They cost twice as much as normal bindings but perform 10x better and last 10x longer. I see people on racestocks from 15 years ago skiing around my resort. I never go cheap on bindings because good ones last long and can transfer from ski to ski.

P.S you're gonna love your titans

yeah tons of the stuff u said has happened to me, my salomon bindings haven't actually exploded tho, they just need constant upkeep (like twice a day sometimes). i love my looks, they release at the right time, i've never had a problem with them.
