So I have a new pair of planks and was planning on mounting up a pair of STH 14 Drivers. I then realized that Salomon came out with a new guardian heel and driver toe piece in a 13 din. Does anyone have any info or experience on them, and what all did the change?

Are the STH2 13's a significant upgrade from the old platform or is it better to just get a deal on the STH 14's which I know is a kickass binding.

I would get the sth13 unless you can get a great deal on the 14. It's a whole new design taking everything which was great about the old design and I proving it. It features the wider mount pattern, a better brake system a redesigned toe and as you sia the guardian heel. They have kept all the adjustment if the old drivers but beefed everything up. So far there have been no issues with them. But either way 13 or 14 you will get a great binding.
 
After looking at these in person, I still do not know if I like this new design. Seems clunky. I loved the old heal piece, I would go with those since they are probably cheaper.
 
The mechanism, and theory of operation are the same. The footprint is improved. There is nothing that would make it "clunky".
 
Though this may shock you, not everyone likes the fks heelpiece.

To everyone else thank you for the responses so far, if I can find a good deal on a set of the 14's i'll go with those. If not then i'll be stoked on the 13's since both are great bindings.
