What bindings are right for me?

This season i'm looking into getting new bindings. I haven't looked into it much but i was hoping to get some advice.

My mountain doesn't get a lot of powder and when we do it's pretty light stuff, so I won't need something with a really high din. I weigh around 145 and I'm 5'11. I'm a fairly agressive skier. I ski mostly park so I'd like something light, but I also ski a decent amount of moguls and trees. I'm looking for something light, but i don't want to give away too much durability just for a bit less weight.

So far I havent looked much, but maybe something in the marker royal family. Jesters maybe.
FKS would be nice but I don't know if i can afford them.

Any advie? Experience? thanks!

They have some 4frnt Deadbolts 15 97brake on sale at Evo.com. If you want mid level binding this fits the bill. Hurry not many left (I might buy some).

i like my sth 12 driver toe. save ur money, if you dont need a din over 12 why buy a jester? griffon will be fine for you. id check out fks 14, griffon, sth 12 driver. if you need something with a higher din, choose those 3's big brothers (sth 16 driver, jester, fks 18). the first 3 i mentioned are gonna be 3 really solid options for ya.

Salomon sth 14 driver, tyrolia peak 15, or look for some used Rossi fks 155s either on here or tgr. The 155 has a 6-15 din that's a lot more moderate than the 180/185, but has the same full metal race toe as the 18 din models, unlike the 140, which has the same plastic toe as the 120
