what do you guys think about the fritschi freeride plus, the naxo nt11's, and the new marker dukes.  plus of the freerides is the attachable crampon, cons of the dukes are you have to take off the ski to engage the free-heel capabilitys.  any oppnions?

I saw the dukes in person and they look sick, close as you can get to an alpine binding so personally I'd go with those. dont know much about touring stuff though

dukes are pretty bomber. even as a first year binding, they have been getting mad reviews. naxo's were the old standard for burliness before good old Duke came along. I think I recall seeing a thread or 2 on here about dukes and naxos, and definitely go check out TGR, they have tons of info
