Fks or griffon

I'm about 145 lbs, 5.7 (don't think I'll get any taller, heavier probably), quite aggresive and can't decide which to get. I've got a good deal on fks 155 (100$, used a couple of times). I know I should probably get the griffons since I don't need such a high din but I've heard so much about the fks being extremely durable and I'm sick of constantly breaking my bindings. Would getting them be that stupid and irresponsible? If so, would it make a difference if I got the new FKS 140? Also, there's no chance of me getting fks 120.

Sorry if my english is poor, thanks in advance

if you can get them - FKS for sure, best binding ever made end of story. If not Griffons are great too.

So I've heard, but still it's a 15 din binding and I'm quite light, trying to get heavier but it's hard. Don't really know what to do but damn that's a nice price for practically new fks.

if you can get FKS 155s in good shape for 100$ jump on it as soon as possible.

I'm 5'8, 155lbs, and I ride around an 8, you can ride the 15 DIN bindings at like 7 or 8 just fine. If you can get them you can ride them no problem.
