You're probably going to have better luck with this in Gear Talk, ask a mod (green name) to move this over there.

Also to help us answer your question, if you could tell us some details about yourself and your skiing that would be great, such as:

Height
Weight
Size of the features you hit
Any idea what DIN you normally ride on?

I love my FKS's. They are fully metal so the are very sturdy but it makes the ski a bit heavier. If you dont mind the heaviness I would get fks

If you're riding at 5, most entry level/junior bindings should suit fine. Take a look at the following:

Awesome!
I was already looking at the Axial 2 120s. Is there a big difference between the 100s 110s and 120s?
Thank you!

they all have different max dins, 100s have max din of 10, 110s have max din 11, 120s have max din 12, I'm not totally sure if the material used in them are different but traditionally, higher din bindings are more durable

Yeh, the Axial2 120 is a good one. Whilst the bindings in the original list I gave are entry level/junior bindings, the Axial 2 120 is a lower DIN adults binding. However thanks to the DIN range on the Axial 2 120 (3.5-12), at DIN 5 you still sit quite comfortably in the DIN. Both the Axial2 120 and the Axial2 100 use the same heel pieces, the PX. But they use different toe pieces, the Axial2 120 uses the Full Drive toe, this is the same toe used on the FKS140. The Full Drive toe is more durable than the toe used on the Axial2 100, the FDC Nova toe.

The advantages for you in going with the 120s over the 100s, is that you get the more durable Full Drive toe piece, and a DIN range thats going to be able to accommodate you for 2 settings higher as you progress. If you're looking for a review of the Axial2 120, take a look at the review on my blog here -http://aslansskiblog.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/rossignol-axial2-120-ski-binding-review.html

If i could give you more karma I would. Respect is the only other thing I can give and you just got a lot of it.
