Fks 120 or 140

I'm debating on whether to get the fks 120 or the fks 140. This may seem kind of snobby but I really hate the orange on the 140's, enough to be debating whether to get the 120 or 140. My question is how much more durable are the 140's than the 120's. Is it enough of a difference for me to put aside my disliking for the orange and buy the 140's or should I buy the black 120's. ***I know there are black 140's but I can't find them anywhere***

just paint them black lol, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it comes down to whether or not you need a 14 din binding or not.

So your saying that's the only difference between the two?

The 120s and 140s are the exact same binding, just different max din.

If you're not skiing at an 11-12 din, then there's no need to get the 140s.

If your din is a 10 or higher, go with the 140's. If not, save a couple bucks nd go with the 120's
