Depends on your skiing style and weight as well; if you're a lighter or less aggressive skier, you could get away with these bindings, or if you go Marker you could save some dough and get the Barons instead. If you're going to use them almost entirely for the resort you'd be best off getting some ski brakes as well.

I would personally go with the Marker Duke binding. You won't feel like you are as elevated off of the ski. With the Fritschi you will never feel like you are on a pure alpine binding, with the Marker Duke you will often forget you are on a touring binding. The Duke is slightly heavier, but much stronger and more alpine feeling.

Good binding choice,but if you are 95 percent on the hill,you should have a look at the marker Dukes!
