FYI -- for my wife's new iM78's, I chose a Tyrolia CP13 plate mounted with Head LD12 bindings.  I was comfortable with this choice, based on comments about that plate here, and looking at it in the shop.  It's light, has a central hinge with rubber dampener, and rubber dampening pads fore and aft.  It did not seem to stiffen the skis at all, and is probably no heavier than a Railflex plate.  The LD12 bindings are also light, but good quality.  Even with the boot clicked in, you can see the ski bend under the binding, so hopefully no dead spot there.

Overall, a good choice, I think.  We'll see in a week how they perform on snow.

Thanks all, for your feedback here.
