Get these. The freerides are not even close, if you want to do long tours look into Naxo's. These are the choice for steep sidecountry!

If you ski aggressively, buy the Dukes. The Freerides are lighter, but have a tendency to prerelease when skied hard. Additionally, I've seen a couple of cases of components breaking on the Freerides. Now, if all you're using the bindings for is touring, and you have another pair of skis for resort days, the Freerides are a great choice, but if you plan on using the skis for resort skiing a fair bit, or for really aggro touring runs, the Dukes are bomber.
