Help me pick a binding

I picked up a pair of clearance Kore 99’s today. Wasn’t even really in the market Bc I just ordered a pair of masterblasters but I got a really good deal. Anyway now I have two sets of skis that I need bindings for.

In the past I’ve used:

Marker Jesters

Rossignol Axium 110s

Look Axial 120s

Salomon warden 13s

Salomom STH2 WTR 16s

my favorite binding were the jesters, they were well built and felt solid, second were the STH’s. I think I just like the build quality of the higher din bindings better. The wardens just feel cheap and I hate how bulky they are where. The main bindings I’m considering are pivot 12s and griffons. I’m open to anything else if anyone has anything compelling but my main goal is to have a burly well built binding without going extreme. I don’t ski park anymore so I don’t need anything 12+
 
Attacks or pivot 15s, there isn't really a point to buying plastic pivots since the 15 came back. STH are nice too but they're often similarly priced to pivots and people just roll with look because ns tells them to.
 
If you like Jesters roll with Jesters, haven't heard much about them since the redesign but was personally never a fan. Attacks are slowly becoming my favorite binding abd I have sworn by pivots for a long time. The fact that I can almost buy 2 pairs of attacks for the price of one pair of pivots is a huge deal when you have a ski buying problem. Granted the release is not as clean as pivots or STH I have had zero issues with them.

well 12s are 200$ or cheaper and 15s are 350$ so that's a point

I get it but really the price sensitive consumer in this space should be purchasing attacks which can be had for $140ish.

yeah but for 50$ more you can get the better looking binding with the dildo on the back sooo

Personally, I've loved the way attacks look, respond, feel.

Old ones looked way better IMO plus that 15mm stack height was unmatched. Now with all the Gripwalk and shaped soles it’s impossible.

OP I dig Markers personally. You’ll hear a lot ab people blowing them up but if you’re not slamming your shit into rails every day (like me) they do great. If you’re a park guy Pivots or STHs make more sense since they’re so beefy. The Attack is also a great binding and can be had pretty cheap, so if you can find one of those I’d bite the bullet
