I have never tried the new model STH 16 but have the S916 labs on my old race skis. Pretty bomber binding but I would prefer looks anyday; just my opinion. The jesters were better than previous markers so I was basing my opinions on that for the dukes.(I've only heard positive) As for the dynafits, they are the only true touring alpine binding I have used. Were realitivly simple to use and lock to downhill. I like them for skining but prefer teleing instead when skining up a mountain is necessary.

FKS 120
or p12-p14
all hard to get and pricey, except p12. I would recomend them(http://www.levelninesports.com/look-2005-p12-adjustable-ski-bindings-p-2163.html)

rocked dukes pretty much every day last season, dynafits for longer tours, and og pivot scratch 120's for park. i actually raced in sth 16's and also put them on a pair of bluehouses towards the end of last season and skied turntables a few years ago and this year i'm riding 2 pairs of turntables, 1 pair of dukes, and 1 pair of pivots, so, yes, i have ridden all of them and those are my favorites. o and i rode a friend's jesters over the summer at hood when i was racing, i was desperate to hit a few jumps so i borrowed his extremes w/ jesters for a few park laps

Why does everyone say demos suck? They have a tad more play than non-demos, but I never had any problems with mine.
