I accidentally backed over the toe piece of my FKSs last week and they survived. I think that's pretty telling.

This. All depend on what kind of skiing you do and your style.

Are you in the park all the time? Do you like making big, fast, high angle turns? Do you ski more bumps and trees than groomers? Are you hiking out of a resort and skiing steep, wide open faces?

Describe your skiing more, and we can give you recommendations that'll actually be useful.

Pivots/fks are not the end all best binding out there. They get way overhyped on this site. Personally, the lack of readily available replacement brakes is a massive turn off, so much so that I don't use that binding. I personally love my sth (/sth2) bindings and they are my go to choice
