I could use some opinions regarding a binding choice for my IM78's. I have seen the threads recommending Mojo 12, LD 12, Freeflex and Railflex Head bindings. Those are all great bindings but I happen to like the Look PX12 lifter and was wondering  what would be the pro's and con's of putting this binding on my skis. I plan on using them as 50/50 skis. Any input would be appreciated.

Great binding for a great ski.  There are weight differences in the bindings, nothing to stress over though. There are slight increases in ski flex for railed bindings, no big deal....Ramp angles. Some folks prefer lots of lift, some little or none. 

I like to be able to move my foot forward a bit, or back. Can't do that without a mount system.

If you like the Looks, mount'em up and don't look back.

The reason I guess I am leaning towards the PX 12 is the better snow feel and the stand height. I have the railflex on my RX8's and I think they are great for that ski for carving on groomers. I hesitate to put them on the IM78 because I intend on using them 50/50 and in deeper snow and in crud conditions where the 35mm stand height might be a little too much where as the PX 12's have 26.5mm, a bit of a compromise compared to Mojo and LD at 21mm. Does that make sense?
