How much more would you pay for Pivot/FKS or STH?

Ok, first of all sorry for another 'what binding?' thread.
I am looking at 13-14 DIN bindings for my new skis. I can buy Pivot 14s for about $12 more than STH2 13s or STH2 WTR 13s. I can get AAAtack 13s for about $30 less than that. I think I have it narrowed down to these three bindings. Would you pay more money to get the Pivots over the STH or AAAtacks?

If it's for park use it's worth taking into account how much brakes are as you inevitable will have brake issues if your in the park. In this respect sth and attack will be a better option but really the are all good bindings and seeing how they are all fairly similar price wise take your pick really.

As above, they're all really good bindings, and the close pricepoint reflects how similar they are.

If you don't have issues with damaging brakes, the Pivots are very good bindings.

But so are they other 2. Personally, I'd probably get the STH2's.

What about the 12 DIN Pivot/FKS? Pretty much the same as the 14 DIN version, but $50 cheaper.

These are for my YLEs. They won't be a park ski so I'm not really worried about brake issues. I can get the green 14s for a couple bucks less than the new FKS 120s. The price difference it not that big and all of these seem like good options. STH WTR might give me more boot options in the future but I might never use that feature.
