So if the $399 price includes the binding itself and cartridges and brakes, can you specify brake width in addition to cartridge type? I'm leaning toward the green cartridge but a friend said I should also consider the white. I'm a 5'6" chick on volunteer ski patrol in CO and a strong all-mountain skier. Any recommendations? Also, if I get another binding heel plate, how easy is it to switch the binding from ski to ski?

I am 6' and 200lbs and ski very aggressively with 3 buckle Scarpa Terminators. I ski tour a lot. I use the green (soft) cartridges and am happy. The cartridge stiffness must be matched to the stiffness of the boot (stiff boot = stiff cartridge) and the aggro of the skier as well as the length of ski. Soft cartridge and stiff boot = rocker launch. Stiff cartridge and soft boot = fixed heel skiing and tip dive. Took me a lot of experimenting with different stiffness to be happy. Despite the extra thinking required NTN still leagues better than cables. Very easy to swap between skis when plate mounted. I bought several base plates. Hope this helps.
