WHICH BINDING FOR MY FUJAS? STH 16, 14, Look PX 12 or PX 12 Jib????

Let me start off by saying: I am not Pep Fujas! I am a solid level 8 skier and I bought a 2009-10 pair of Kung Fujas for a fun all mountain ski that I can play on. I will hit some pow with them, nothing "sick" because I am from the East and anything over my waist is considered an avalanche! I will be out west this year, but for the most part I want to use these for the trees, crud and bumps, a little air (nothing over 10') and occassionaly falling out of my lame 360! lol!

 

I found a pair of STH 16's for $199 delivered, but I am only 145lbs (and I have somewhat bad knees) so the idea of being at the bottom of the DIN makes me nervous, so I was thinking the 14 or the PX 12 Jib or 12 lifter. I considered some Marker models...I love the Marker Ti piston bindings but I think it would be stupid to ruin this ski with those. Suggestions?

I like the Head Mojo/Tyrolia Peak bindings.  They come in 12 and 15 DIN versions. I would think at your size the 12 would work fine. Are your Kung Fujas the ones with the 95mm waist width? If so the Mojo/Peak most commonly come with a 97mm brake which would be perfect.

Yes, they are 95 at the waist. I totally forgot about the mojo's...thanks. I found some good deals on them already. I almost went with the Griffin bindings, but I haven't read alot of good things about them. I like Salomon and look/Dynastar...and I skied tyrolia for a number od years on my Im 72's and 81's...Thanks..

The STH 14 is an excellent binding. Lots of other good choices out there - but my bias at your weight would be that STH 14, STH 12,  or a Griffon. If you search, you will find many similar threads out there with lots of debate/discussion.
