Guys, the Dynastar Fluid bindings are dead-easy to adjust for fore-aft position and BSL.  Just flip a lever and slide the toe piece to the indicated mark for your BSL; repeat for the heel piece.  If you want to adjust to +/- from center, just move toe and heel forward or back a corresponding number of notches on the plate, and yer done.  Perhaps not quite as easy as the Railflex, in that you have to move toe and heel separately, but still a cinch for anyone with decent vision to count the notches.  I have done this trail-side many times, with gloves on.  No screwdriver needed.  Takes less than a minute per ski.

As confirmation that you have it right, there is a very clear forward pressure indicator in the heel piece -- a sliding yellow or green bar in a little window; when the bar is visible anywhere in the window, you're good.  Very unambiguous, and almost impossible to get it wrong.

Stand height is also respectable -- not sure how it compares to a RF or PR binding, but I find they have good leverage.  The Fluid plate is similar to the RF plate, in that it provides some amount of lift.
