Those are Px12 Jibs. Not "Px Jib Troubles"

I know your not a super hard skier, so I think they would be fine. Look into some Z10's or Z12's. Your a smaller, lighter guy, and dont need a DIN past 5. Z10's would be your best bet.

They are a proper sweet binding man, have them mounted on my T-hall.
I had a loada trouble with the heel plate, and so did one of the kids i ski with. They both deformed from the binding, kind of twisting, i got told it could be from spinning but i didn't believe it.There was no way to repair it. Luckily they replaced them under warranty, but the new ones are dope. So, yeah go with 'em, and the look pretty sick.

pretty sure the px12 jib troubles are just the px12 jib in a different colour.

I really doubt you ride at a 9 and 10, actually, there is no way you do. I ride alot harder than you, and Im only at a 7. The only way your DIN is that high is if your forward pressure is way off, and your bindings are completely messed.

Not to be rude, but from your eastern edit, I wouldnt say your ride very hard. I think you would be more than fine with a pair pf p10's, or regular Px12's. There isnt much need for the Jibs, unless you really want the "shock absorber" that is simply a gimmick.

Hmm, still, there is no possible way you were riding at a 9 and 10.

A p10 will be excellent, as well as the px12.
