I have both. griffons arent that bad if you're pretty light. fks are always a great binding.

i cant even find 120s brand new from a store (not person, had 2 many bad experiences)... so hopefully there isnt a real big deff. between '08 120s and the new 140s

the fks is a retention oriented binding design thanks to its huge amount of elastic travel (35mm i think, or is it different from the pivot?)...nothing else comes close to it so if you are having problems with prereleasing, and you need something this sturdy, go FKS.
