So I have dukes but I dont really like the stand height. So I checked out the adrenalins and the stand height is just as tall. Then I found the guardian. Good standheight but doesn't have the 3 hiking settings the other 2 bindings have. Guardian only has 2 hiking modes. Is there any good binding out there?? Somethkng similar to the ones mentioned but with the low stack height and 3 modes??

Do the three heights really matter that much too you? I can't really say I have ever missed the flat tour mode on the gaurdian. The lower height to the ski, I think means you can get a fairly natural stance even without being totally flat.

Well I've just noticed that I feel like I have more control on my all mtn skis because I'm closer to the ski. That's why I was interested in the guardian but I didn't want a binding that doesn't have the flat mode. I mean I'm not traversing all that much but it does happen every once in a while.

That is what I saying though. Because it's already closer to the ski then a duke that even though it does not have a true flat tour mode I doubt you will actually notice. The lower height still feels compareable to the dukes flat mode as you are already lower. Honestly I woul not discount the gaurdian just because it does not have a true flat mode.

Yeah I'm not trying to. Now that I think about it I really don't use the flat that much and I'm considering guardians haha.
