the difference is if you theoreticlly turn your din up to 12 with the p12s you can do that and never pop out. theres no difference for you

This is better than freeipods they dont spam you-help me out i swear it works- free ipod or other mp3 player and you only have to put 7 bucks into doing an offer.

Depends on what you need for DIN settings. If all you need is 10, you can mount the bindings without the lifters via shorter screws.

since you're a lady, I'm assuming (hoping), you're not heavy enough to NEED p12's. But if you are .... thats cool

ps, if you are light and need some help with edge control and putting power into the ski, the lifter might be a good idea to keep, anybody else agree???

yeah but if shes riding twin-tips you dont need that much presure to make the ski turn, because of the soft flex in the nose.

depends on what your doing, if your in the park lots and doing rails, no lifters. If you spend your time outside the park then lifters would be a good idea.

speaking of lifter issues, I got reactors. If I get a Line fat ski it's all good, but what if I get something else and i need the freedom plate, will I be annoyingly high on my ski???

just get the bindings mounted directly to your line's rather than use the freedom plate

i would get the p12 even if you dont need the din to be that high, the only reason i can see to get the one with lifters are if your a big carving fan.

if you carve at all put at least some plate on it
especially if you have wide boots (as in any comfort fit or freeride boot other thant the lange jibs)

^ cant say you need lifters on a ski as wide as a twintip. youll have to lay down on the edge pretty hard to touch the ground with your boot.
Specially for her being a girl with smaller boots in width.

if you want to mount your look bindings withou the lifter you need a special adapter for the heel piece as well as shorter screws, which pretty much makes up for the difference in cost between the two bindings.
You gotta want that cow bell.

it doesn't matter which one you get. look bindings are to skis what cd's are to a cd player.

Look bindings are the best for twin tip skiers, as for p12 VS p10, i have never ridden on p12 but, i ski park and montain, so i got the p10 pivot bindings wich are hella sick, they work with whatever you want to do
