If you looking at low din bindings you may want to look into:

-Salomon STH12, make sure to buy driver toe not oversize. Oversize is a much less burly binding and as far as I am aware the FFG12 is the same as the Oversize and Atomic don't manafacture a Driver toe FFG12.

-Marker Griffon, the Griffon features better toe and heel pieces than the squire; triple pivot elite toe and inter pivot heel compared to triple pivot compact and hollow linkage on the heel. If possible try and purchase the 10-11 model as I believe that was the last one to features some metal.

-Rossignol Axial2 120, quality binding, had a lot of personal experience with this binding check my review - http://aslansskiblog.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/rossignol-axial2-120-ski-binding-review.html

-Tyrolia Peak12, never spent any considerable time on them, apart from a few laps, but from what I've heard a lot of guys are very happy on them. Be sure to get a couple lengthy reviews on this. Wish I could tell you more about these guys but I can't

Hope this helps, Joey

Joey, I am assuming I could expect the same quality power and such from the axial 2 140? I picked up ta pair from last year 2012. I'm 215# , aggressive type III all mountain rider! The power transmission sold me. My first choice was fks 14, but price toolk me to axial!

Hi sorry for taking a while to get back to you. I have never personally used the Axial2 140 before, however I can assume so, there has been a good amount of positive feedback.
