So I was looking at getting either this:

or this

Anyway, I searched around a bit and found pros and cons of both, but would still like a bit of information on the new look binding with the PX heel piece.
Me: 6'2" 230lbs. Aggressive park skier that recently partially tore my ACL... which means that I'm doing nothing bigger than 30ft jumps. Um, they will be going on some Ninthward Firstbloods. That will be close to centermounted for park riding. I'm not looking for something to do huge stuff, but I do want something that won't break on me like my 4frnt deadbolts recently did.
I thought about the FKS due to the turn table heelpiece, but I already have some FKS 185s, and I don't know if I want to go through the trouble of bending the brakes all over again... that, and the narrow mounting pattern bugs me a bit, especially for someone my size.
Is the PX heelpiece THAT bad? The new PX race/freestyle binding looks to be no different than the FKS except it comes with a reinforced PX heel. It also comes with a wide break, so no bending required.
Any suggestions?
