There is a discussion thread on the New Schoolers Forum, that you may find useful.

Generally, on mid fat skis and wider, binding body width is narrower than the ski waist, but the brake must be wider than the ski waist.

marker dukes if can afford them-they are pretty much the nuts

Because they are quite heavy and it's tough to get the toe pressure correct on the binding, I would tend to disagree with your suggestion )

Additionally, the lowest used DIN setting is suggested at 9. Not everyone's choice I imagine.

jesters then? they are the lighter version yes?

are the dukes the full touring ones?

They are supposed to be the bombproof hike n' ride binding. I can't think of why any tourer would want to take off the ski to put the binding in/out walk mode???

The Jesters are lighter, with a lower DIN and they are all plastic. I've heard rumours about the limited durability of the materials. When I was looking for a freeride binding I was steered away from the Marker offerings, and towards the Look/Dynastar PX range. I chose the PX12, and so far very happy.

Priest says he wants a Freestyle Binding, not necessarily a Freeride one, the Jester has a zero ramp angle, but that can be achieved on any flat binding using plates.

have to say when i read the first post i was confused cos he says a freestyle binding but for a waist of 110 and that seems very wide for freestyle skiing!

Agree completely. Mixing up the styles, or lost in translation?
