Hey Mike...actually the Marker Griffon gave good edge to edge control as a versatile all snow ski....can't really fault it for that. It's just that I am now able to narrow down the intended use of the ski finding that the extra stand height is no prob for what I'm using it for.

When I got to test day, because it has more ramp angle than the Marker which is virtually flat, I started with it one centimeter back from where it was originally mounted. On the mountain testing, I moved it back about 5mm, then back to where I started and then forward 5mm...it's just about in the same location the Markers were set at. I didn't make that connection until my experimenting was done. Interesting the sweet spot was the same.

According to Head...this is a newly constructed binding with some interesting updates. I so far like what I feel and see.

As for adjustments, pretty simple.... you just lift a tab to move the toe piece and same on the heel...simple...eas y to do on snow.

Point well taken Mike....I really didn't want to spend the money for new carvers....I would like to demo some thing narrower....time will tell.
