Ok so i got my ep pros and im looking for bindings and i have narrowed it down to these three, just to let you know im 5' 9'' and 145 lbs, and will be using them for pow days or on a few day old pow.
Dynastar px 12 jib- din 3.5-12
> what are the differences between these binding?
Rossingol SAS2 120- din 3.5-12
Marker M11.0 twin cam- din 3-11

I will kick you in the balls if you put any markers but jesters on ep pros. There are no differences between the rossis and the looks though I'd go with those two.

With your size, unless you are really prone to breaking things, the Dynastar (Look) or Rossignol bindings will work perfectly for you.
I don't like Marker bindings, never have. I don't understand the hype surrounding the Jester bindings. They are built on a plastic platform. The heel track is plastic, and below the toe piece is also plastic.

the riser platform on every binding is plastic, if it wasnt it would be retarded heavy.
that being said, i favor the px platform over almost everything else. great elastic travel, locks u into the ski well, isnt too heavy, consistent release, and durable. just super solid

first of all the jesters are a good binding just because it has plastic doesnt mean it breaks all the time. and second all the bindings your considering wont be really compatible with the ep pros you need a binding with a wider platform built for fatter skis not park, the jesters, the sth 14 or 16, and even the head mojo 15

dude hes 145 pounds, he doesnt need anything with a din that high. and the jester/griffon are the only bindings with a wider hole pattern, none of the others u mentioned are.
u narrowed it down to three good choices, dont listen to the garbage advice u get on here from kids who have no idea what theyre talking about.
i would stay away from the m11 frees tho, too much cheap plastic in the housing makes me wary.

my bad i didnt see the weight, but even without wider hole pattern both the other bindings were designed for a fatter ski not so much the heads but still, the ep's are dfinatly a ski for someone who charges hard i still dont see putting on a binding designed for park

pretty much everything you said just failed.
theres no such thing as a park specific binding. eps are an incredible soft playful ski and not designed to charge. the only thing that makes sths "designed for a wider ski" is u can get a 130mm brake.

I would say go with sas 120's. They have a shorter heel track metal reinforcement in the heels(Don't know what the thing is called, the brackets that attach the dildo to the track), and a worm screw. Just a more solid binding.

Are you sure the 120 has the wormscrew? If so, yeah wormscrew is definitely better than the normal tab adjustment.
