Fuck I hit enter... by accident. Thread title was supposed to be Look px12 or Salomon sth12's? I own STH's already, but should I buy a pair of px12 at a cheaper price or are they worse than the STH's?

Can you be more specific. What's your height/weight? What type of terrain are you going to be skiing? How aggressive are you? Need more info to give you a good answer

The px 12's are a much sturdier binding. If you can pick em up for cheaper, you should definitely get on that.

Gonna use them on my new anthems, so mostly for park riding and general cruising groomers and stuff. These are gonna be my jib skis and I ride pretty aggressively at 5'9" and about 160 pounds

I would suggest going with a higher DIN binding then. They'll be more expensive, but I've had some problems with 12 DIN bindings in the past, and you weigh more than I do.

Hmm well I never have any problems with pre-release on my current setup 168 Line chronics with STH12 (only at 8), and I can't afford anything nicer. Keep in mind I am not speaking of the look px12 ti jib's just the px12 jib wb, but I didn't know they were sturdier than the STH's. I will probably pick them up since I can get them cheaper.

I'm 5'8/9, 175 and i ride the px 12s. i have then at like a 7 din (probably low) and i havent had any trouble with prerelease.

i also got them for 80 bucks at the beginning of the season. they are 2007 px 12 lifters. they are great, no complaints

yeah i got the px 12 jibs they are sick...cheap and really sturdy..
the only cons i have with them are they are kinda heavy and the break is kinda weak..
my friend went through two breaks in the past 2 years..
but overall they are nice and there is absolutely no problems wit pre-relsease

I've always held a look/rossi card when it comes to bindings, but the STH would be ok for what you want to do..
Basically the same toe as the z12 which is average, but a much better heeltrack .
Personally the PX12 would be my choice
