Ok so here's my deal i have a pair of Salomon x-wing sandstorms as my normal alpine setup. I just bought a pair of Mantras with Fritschi's, only $100.
I don't really like the salomon's too much, the mantras are pretty nice though, but i don't know if the fritschi's would be a solid everyday binding.
I don't ski park, maybe a little, i ski not park, backcountry and pow and drop cliffs a little, but nothing giant.
Options i can think of:
1. do nothing, ski sandstorms everyday, and mantras in pow, backcountry
2. sell the sandstorms, ski the mantras w/ fritschis erryday
3. sell the sandstorms and the fritschi(just binding) and buy duke/baron

Sparknotes: Fritschi solid enough for everyday?

Are they the Red and Black fritschi or the white/gray ones?

they should be a solid everyday binding if you don't spend a lot of time on groomers or in the park. the benefit of switching to a duke/baron would be better lateral response [read slop in fritschi]. but if you are going to take up touring might want to hang on to the lighter fritschi.
