Replying to Upgrading bindings, reusing mounting holes

Hamlet:
Hey NS,

Last year I made the mistake of buying marker squires because i got them really cheap. THe bindings are sufficient for landing forward but they release when I land switch and the plastic plate keeping the brakes in position cracked twice already.

Now I am thinking of upgrading my bindings. The thing is, the tech at the shop said that it is probably possible to reuse the old mounting holes if I upgrade to Griffons. My skis are really new so I wouldn't really want to get them redrilled already.

Has anyone actually done this or knows for sure that it is possible to reuse the holes if I upgrade to Griffons?

If the skis have to be redrilled I would rather spend my money on bindings with a more solid feel -> less plastic.

On the other hand: Does anyone have problems with griffons when landing switch?

P.S Yes, I have turned the dins up since, but haven't done many tricks to switch for fear of breaking the brake plate again.
