For some of us, that's quite a big deal (and harder to find with demise of Pure binding). Lou (and cc: JB):

Same with tech bindings these days, which is why we don't review every last binding from every last home workshop in Italy. We need some disruption in the binding market. Fritz Barthel did it decades ago with the tech system, and Marker did it with the Duke, but we're in a holding pattern now as everyone copies each other. I hear something disruptive may be announced this winter. Perhaps tech 2.0? We shall see.

It's always tricky getting that toe-heel distance correct and noted. I added the number to the template just now. Anyone who mounts, always remember to dry-fit the binding on your ski to make sure you're using the correct heel/toe space distance. Lou Hi Mark, good news, and thanks for helping with the numbers.
