Marker jester vs. fks 120

I currently ride some FKS 120s for my park skis, and these are the best park bindings ive ever had experience with.  Theyre starting to get a little worn out, but i love the durability of the heel along witht the vertical release of the toe.

I was looking into the markers today at a shop and they looked legit, Ive seen quite a few people riding them on park skis also around summit county.  I can get some for a pretty good price, under $200 prolly. 

My big question is... does the mark toe piece have vertical release?  Looking at them today it looked like it was hinged...  can anyone confirm?

I tried searching and none of the threads answered my question

get the markers if they are under 200$. thats a steal! get them while you can, and resell them when you are tired of them for some more $$$

the fks series does NOT have vertical release. the creator was wondering whether or not the jesters do. i think that they do have vertical release though

fks 120s do have vertical release, fks 155s and fks 180s do not.


There doesnt seem to be a clear answer here?  I should ask marker or something.
