Pivots feel better on your ass when you fall on them

You pay for different things. Markers are easily to fix/replace parts when you break them, and pivots are expensive af to fix cause the entire baseplate is part of the brake. I keep pivots on my park skis because I like the reliable release and elasticity, but I have Jesters on my deep skis because fks's are a bitch in powder.

This. I don't bother mounting fks on pow sticks, heavy and suck to step in. I put salomon sth2 13s on my Bentchetlers and couldn't be happier. I do however have pivot 14s on my park skis and loved them, defiantly binding of choice in park skis. I don't like the feel of markers, but they are easy to replace breaks etc, while pivots are vice versa.
