The DIN scale is just a different unit for ultimate release torque. Assuming both bindings are set correctly and working properly, a DIN of 8.5 is the same release torque in the workshop on the release test machine regardless of manufacturer. The DIN standard is tightly and independently controlled, no brand variation allowed.
however out on the hill, other factors come into play, like elastic travel. This is how far the boot can move from the rest position and not release. The pivot is famed for its high elastic travel on the heel and it’s why you and others will be happy to set the DIN lower on pivots compared to other bindings as you get that “suspension” effect before the DIN ultimate release torque comes into play.
If you’re interested, Blister review recently did a panel discussion on alpine bindings.
