Stephen: Nicely done! I primarily backcountry snowboard. I am retiring my Spirit 4 boots for the Rush and believe that the 3-buckle setup will be a revelation. I have a question since I have not heard many talk about it: Do you lock down your boots on the descent when riding? I have no question about this regarding skiing, but I have always had better results by not locking down my Scarpa's on descent when riding. I suppose, ideally, the metal piece that the pin locks into would be better for riding if it was a long notch; giving the rider forward lean, but then providing the rather traditional snowboard binding restriction on the back lean. Hmmm
