Definitely go for the FKS. They have a lower ride height, they are much more durable, and every single part on the binding is replaceable.

Wtf... Just because Marker is owned by Völkl doesn't mean Markers fit better on Völkls, lmao!

what have you been using that you think pivots are light? i've got them on two out of my three skis right now, and they're right up there with the px racings that i've got on my freeride skis, which are some of the heavier bindings i've used.

Until you ruin or damage the brakes on them. I can get replacement brakes for the Markers easy & cheap. I understand though there not as cool as FKS's or come in floro orange.

I would chose between sth and fks. Best bindings on the market. I am not really a fan of my jesters, I would much prefer sth's over anything.
