Should I keep demo markers on my lines?

I recently bought chronic 21s that came with demos. I’ll include a pic at the end. Im still growing and don’t know if I should go with fixed mounts or keep the demos how they are; but i’m going to and do lots of park. Will the demos be ok or are fixed better in the end. The bindings I would put on the chronics would be my old tyrolia attack 13s 2021s from last season. What’s the better choice here: keeping the demos as is / or taking off my fixed bindings from last years skis and putting them on my chronics.

How much are you still growing. Age, height, weight, skill level all that?

A pair of skis with demo bindings is a great thing to have, easy to ler your friends borrow or play arround with mount point.

However if you don't need/want those features, and if the performance of fixed is better. And its not too much of a hassle to remount.

Biggest difference in feel is stack height and some added slop, but IMO its subtle as long as your not pre-ejecting or breaking shit. I'd keep the demos on for at least a few days of skiing, a huge benefit is you can change your mounting point a few cm's on the fly with those and see what works for you. If you don't like the feel or they are giving you issues you can always swap to your Tyrolias anytime.

I skied with them for a few days , they felt a bit heavy when walking to the slope with them but they felt solid and i didn’t pre eject or anything at all

just keep them on that ski for the time being and keep the attacks until you need them or end up with another ski
