Duke or Fritschi? I've got a pair of Fritschis now and I like them. Putting together a second AT setup and am considering the Duke. Or should I stick with Fritschi? Thanks!
@Shane: Thanks for the feedback. Fritschi's are on a pair of Armada ARVs. Used to be on a pair of Havocs, but I like the ARVs better. Looking at getting a pair of Armada JJs for the deep stuff and want AT bindings for these as well. Honestly, I don't care about weight as much as I do about durability and build quality. I'll take an extra pound or two any day if the product is bomber. So, for the JJ, what would you suggest, Duke or Fritschi? Or should I just go for a Dynafit setup and get it over with? :)

It depends what this setups use is for. If you Fritschi set is a more long distance, multi-day tour set up than I would say Dukes. That gives you a heavier setup that you can mount on bigger planks, so that you have more of a sidecountry, day-tour setup for charging hard and the likes.
