Hey NS, as the title states I'm kind of debating between these 2 two bindings, I ski usually 40% trees/pow, 40% park, 20% groomers in the northwest. Any help would be much appreciated, I'm 6'0" and about 200lbs.
 
I haven't ever use STH drivers or FFG teams but I have used Marker Jester 16s and I had nothing but problems with them, the main problme being that the heel piece would slide back causing me to prerelease. I took them into a ski tech each time it happened and apparently it's a fairly common issue. I found I was much happier on rossignol bindings I find the also offer much better power transmission than markers do.
 
ive got the sth 16 driver on my line blends and the marker jester on my salomon suspects, and the sth is by far a better binding! they are so stable compaired to the markers which make cracking noises and dont stay strong on the ski! ive just ordered by 2013 atomic punx and get them next week and have got the FFG 16 driver binding! they are the best binding out there!
 
Judging by your weight STH16s would be a better fit for you if you'll be hitting any decently sized features
 
Yeah unless you ride at 13 or 14, just get the STH 14. It will be cheaper, and is just about the same as the STH16 or FFG 16. The 16 toe does have slightly more metal, but the STH 14 is enough for most people.
 
I have axial 140s on my current skis set at 12 and I'm looking to go up a step so sounds like the FFG 16s will be the route I take. Thanks again to everyone for all the help!
