I've got a screaming deal on some Prior Husumes, but am in a little quandary about what binding to put on there. These would be sort of an all around set up, in bounds and out. (Although I also have an in-bounds alpine rig, and some Vector BCs for mixed terrain). Was thinking some Switchback x2, as I have on my old Chargers skis; I like this rig. But maybe want some Enzo bindings - more active for lift skiing, maybe less rocker launch?
Main question - are Enzos really only 3.9 lbs. all up? I have 3.4 lbs. on my Switchback x2, although they are advertised as less (screws vs. no screws maybe). 3.9 lbs. isn't that much more weight for skinning up! Axls are heavier - don't need that much burl I think. I have demo'ed Hammerheads, Enzos, and O1, and liked the first two.
Let's see - 6'1", 165#, using T2x boots.
Other more expensive options: NTN freedom, new TX boots. That's maybe no more weight, but an additional circa $800, for releasable basically. Not so sure those things work well, though. OR, tech bindings with brakes and Maestrale boots, save about 1.5 lbs. over the Switchbacks options, but again an extra $800.
I know, just have to decide already, but maybe someone has some perspective.
