Hey so like many others i'm debating between the Duke and Baron. I'm 6'1" and 150 lbs. I'm an agressive skier and will be skiing bout 50/50 resort /backcountry. I do some small cliff hucks, up to 20 ft and wondering if the barons will be enough for me or should i just get the dukes and not worry bout the extra weight. Any advice on choosing between these 2 would be great. Thanks.

Well what do you normally set your bindings to? Something around a 9 or 10? Get the Baron. If you like to set your DIN higher, to something 12 or over? Grab the Duke. Either will hold you in for what you do, it comes down to what you set your DIN. Personally, I would say the Baron, since it is lighter, and you really don't need a DIN set over 10. Remember, you should never max out the DIN on your bindings, it is bad for the spring.
