Replying to Questions for Armada/Ar5 owners or anyone who knows...

So, I'm probably going to get last years AR5
I just have a couple questions:
Are they particularly heavy?
I've heard that they're not so good in the pipe--is that true?
what kind of bindings(brand/model)are good on Armadas--what are you using?
Just stuff like that...Lemme know if you like yours pros/cons etc...
Overall they seem like what I'm looken for and I can get them for a good price so...
any feedback would be cool.
thanks
