I just bought the 178 Indavers with the Reactor 12 and I am pretty stoked on them, I think Jason made sure it's a bomb proof binding this time around.
A lot of the reasons for the breakage was due to kids thinking that they could set them up themselves. It's a very advanced binding and you need a pro to set it up so it won't break.
If you think this binding sucks talk to Josh Bryant, owner of Jibij. Ask him why his team rocks Reactors, he knows they are good bindings once they are set properly by a professional.
