So I pulled the trigger on the Watea 84.  Sierra Snowboard has em on sale for 299$ right now....I went with the 167cm.after asking a dozen or so people about it.  If it is too short, I will know after a day or two, then I'll just unload them.  In the meantime the 167 is sold out from Fischer and they have lots of 176 left, so I can always get the larger size if I regret the 167 I figure. 

Since I can't seem to find any demos of this ski or the Atomic Highnoon and Blackeye, I might just buy all of them if I can find good deals on them and then sell off the ones I don't like!  Is this stupid?

Anyway regarding bindings, I think I will go the way of the Railflex as you suggested Ron.  My question is this...It seems that I can get either 78mm brakes or 95mm brakes for them...is it usually done to bend a set of 78mm brakes to fit an 84mm ski?  And if I go with 95mm brakes, will that be problematic on 84mm skis?
