fks 185 - 1235g
griffon - 950g

But the fks is a bomb proof binding griffons are all plastic

And that's only a difference of half a pound.

once your binding is directly on your ski ( fks) you will love it and never wanna go back. fks is the best binding made ever. i have 120's and i will never get rid of them. super light on my phil larose's. lighter than my friends dumonts with jesters. the metal consturction is bomb proof. the only bad part about fks is the breaks are brittle and are a bitch sometimes. if you bend them right you won't have a problem. i've had a couple problems with landing switch and them bending, it sucks to find another break. but still you could cut the breaks because this binding hardly ever comes out. it will only come out when needed. no pre-releasing. i feel so safe in fks's i will never go back to my old px12's

Plastic toe piece though on the 120s with vertical release, unless you go for the 155/185

Fuck vertical release. Your skis should not come off when you land a bit low in the pipe, or you're a bit backseat on a landing.

the griffon is a glorified px12 for more money, if you can get a set of fks's on a whole there way over hyped but it is one of the best buindings i have ever used
