I'm a fairly aggressive alpine/randone skiier who has switched to telemark. I'm picking it up pretty quick and do a lot of touring. I weigh 150 and am wondering if the ridiculously stiff cartridges on the 01 bindings would be too much for me.

As I have said below, there is not much difference between the rid stiff and the mid stiff. If you really want to get better, and have a binding that adapts to your improving skills, while also retaining superior performance AND reliability, then get a pair of Hammerheads! I can't stress this "opinion" enough! I've never met (in person) someone who thinks after trying them, that Hammerheads aren't totally superior to BD bindings, or any other binding on the market. Get some Axls if you want to tour, but ditch the 01's for sure! But if you MUST keep your 01's, then sure, the rid-stiffs are not going to overpower you.
