Demo Bindings on Jib skis?

I was thinking of putting some Rossi Axial Pro 120 (Look P12) Demo bindings on my PE 179s. The will be my all purpose inbounds ski. I thought it would be fun to be able to move the toe and heel towards chord center if I was going to be in the park most of the day and way back if I was going to be in some powder. OTOH, I was worried that on park days the added weight and lift of the demo plate system would cancel out the easyness created by moving the binding forward. Any thoughts?

yeah, my scratches were demo skis, and they had those on em, i wouldnt put em on, i got them raken off about a mont after i got the skis cause they were pissin me off, and i was afraid somone was gonna steal my skis. you might want to think about that as well before you decide to put that on, it would be super easy for someone to steal those with that instaled, all they have to do is flip a switch.

the bindings themselves are fine, its the plate that they mount them on thats the problem.

yeah, my main concern was somone reseting them and takeing them, speed set only takes like 2 seconds to move.

See I already have the bindings... and another pair of Look P12s (but I was going to put those on my Spatulas (because the spats are already heavy metal).

I had a pair of rossi axial demos for a few years, never had a problem, the break broke off a lot though.
