I've been interested in these bindings for a while now. Especially curious if the Pure provides a solid boot/binding/ski interface. Could you comment on that when you do get a full review up? I understand Fritschi is revising their desing to address the inherent sloppiness of the Express/Explore/Freeride series at the toe. Hey Lou,

This is significant because I don't use leashes in avy country and I don't like skis that take off on their own. The TLT Vertical may finally solve that but then the weight savings will be even less. Please include brakes, leash, and crampon weights in your reviews -- binding only is misleading. With the MAJOR price increase for all Dynafit next season, the Pure Performance is going to be a lot more popular. Not sure why the Silvretta Freeride even exists since the testosterone boys will go for the mega binders. The X-mountain isn't cheap enough to make it a real consideration for consumers but should be good for rental fleets.
