Rossi FKS 140 or Marker Griffon or YOUR choice, +k for all

hey, recently got my 176 AR7s, wondering which of these two would fit better. I'm 5'9'' 160, I ski 70% park and am obviously more concerned with durability and quality while giving my setup a beating.

I've talked with better skiers than me, and am pretty confident with the 12 DIN choice, but the $100 difference between the two bindings is where I'd like some input. Can I get the same performance from the Marker's? Just because the Rossi's are more expensive, are they better?

I've seen the lot of posts about the brake 'issues' while (not) landing switch with the fks, not concerned about that too much.

-OR- any preference on bindings that I'm currently not zeroed in on?

Thanks, +k for all

Yeah I have both

Both are good, however the griffons are almost totally made from plastic which keeps the weight down but means they aren't as durable. My griffons have had a few problems, but that was because the shop over tightened some of the bolts.

As with everything you get what you pay for. So I suggest if you can afford them go for the fks, or if you don't want to shell out that much then get the griffons. Like I said earlier both are good :)
