Good one! Thanks Greg.

The RDX looks like it has no pre-drilled holes, which is nice if you have a non-Tyrolia binding.  What's the weight like? Heavy? Or light, like a CP13?  Decent stand height on that one, too, at 14.5mm.

FYI, the aluminum Flowflex plate on my Progressor 9's is about 17mm, which really puts the boot up high over such a narrow ski -- about 53mm total stand height, incl. ski.  Works great on hard smooth snow and ice, and surprisingly OK for soft spring snow, but can make the skis a bit twitchy for grabby granular crud and chop.
