My thought: If your current boot fits you somewhat well, you're not going to be changing BSL very much for a while also in my experience FKS 18/155 last longer than most skis anyway, so lack of adjustability is a non issue unless you're looking to share skis with friends. What to get is up to you though.

Yeah no plans to change boot, just got foot beds for them so they fit perfect now and I'm committed to them. Really the FKS are cheaper and better built which I suppose answers my own question

How/whwere did the STH2 brake? First i've heard of someone breaking them. I'd assume you could warranty
If you go to a different binding I vote FKS180

FKS for lyfe. Ive been riding on them a long time and they stand up to an absolute thrashing. Interesting this is the first thread with FKS vs Marker that Ive seen so far that hasn't already turned into a turf war between the two sides in the first 3 comments
FKS are shit get jesters
That was for you Wingmen
But seriously, I have broken 4 half moon baseplates, 3 in the past 4 days of riding, I have broken the heel track to 2 different models, both in around 20 days of riding, both having the same exact damage in the same exact place, and I have messed up the toes of the 14s which are pretty good and fucked. that said, Get them.
They are by far the most durable binding, aside from the 916s from Solly and the Old peak series tyrolias, but they work the best IMO. You will love the feel and performance you get, and unless you got your scissor game on lock with shit like 2 pretz 4 or bswap bs 4, you won't have pre release.
With that said, Nothing wrong with Jesters. I know some people who went too hard for the 18s and had to get jester pros since they dont pre release horizontally as easily. these Kids slay rails like nobodies business. Realistically, it is a matter of preference and feel. bindings have pros and cons, including the FKS and its only con is NOT only the brakes. with that in mind, I once again agree, get the FKS. you will probably not be at the level where you need to worry about an 18 din binding pre releasing on you alot, so I think you should be good.
