I have ben thinking about getting these for some old t-halls that i got lying around but i don't know what the upsides are so let me know what they are
 
very very very durable, never pre release, only come out when you really need them to

cons are they are not the lightest if you care about binding weight, and the breaks are a bitch to bend and can not be changed in any way once the binding is mounted
 
another con: they get real annoying to click in and out of, especially in pow or when hiking the park.

Negatives aside, they are the best bindings ive ever owned and im definitely gonna get another pair
 
if you want to be able to lend your skis to friends then for sure look else where, or if your feet are still growing and you plan on keeping the skis for a while
 
this is the only downfall ive seen with em. sometimes ill click in and my break will be still sticking out cuz its caught on the side of my si so i have to bend down and click it up. they work best when clicking in on perfect flat which is not in the park or pow
 
they can be adjusted slightly. I think they can go up or down 1 shell size...but not both, for example you can mount them for a 27 and they can go up to a 28, but can't go down to a 26 with the same mount. It's kinda hard to explain, basically there's a screw type thing on the arms that attach the base plate to the release part on the heel piece that can be screwed in or out to adjust, but only goes out one size so you can either start it with it all the way out or start it with it all the way in.
 
ok i am gonna put it all the way in so i can still go one size more if needed now all i need is to get some better off in bst but anyone wanna sell me theirs for like 75ish?
 
they are the best ever, i'd say the only downsides are the narrow mount pattern and the limited adjustability
