What is the difference in performance between the dynafit low tech binding and the high tech binding? Are racing bindings the only bindings they make?
I am making the shift from tele to at and want to get a nice light setup. I am a moderately aggressive skier. I would like to be able to ski the lifts as well as the the bc. I am a female, 5'5 and 125lbs. Would you recommend the dynafit over the black diamond?

I believe the retention for the low tech is around 8.5/9.0 din equivalent

In addition to what Jared noted, the race version lacks any release adjustment (unclear what it's equivalent DIN value is) and also lacks any fore/aft length adjustment (so be very careful with your mounting). Therefore, it's really appropriate only for racers.

The Low Tech binding is different from the standard Speed in a couple ways: (1) the toe piece is titanium and (2) the heel piece is stripped down and only has one elevation setting (the Speed has two). Weight-wise, it is Dynafit's lightest offering and is geared towards rando racers. If you are looking for a backcountry/slackcountry binding, I'd go with the Speed or Vertical because of the higher heel piece. Quite often I ski resorts on Dynafits, but they aren't optimal.
