I was looking to get these bindings to mount on a pair of Line Eps.I read in a couple of reviews that the AXL is a little better for touring. I'm not really too concerned with weight ad such (I usually just leave the cartridges on my other teles set how i have them on the downhill when I tour), and I was wondering if getting the AXl is worth the extra cost over the Hammerheads?

The axl is much much MUCH easier to tour on, but that will go for any free pivot binding. However, if you don't plan on touring more than 50% of the time your on snow, then I would say that the hammerhead would be fine. If you can deal with adjusting the pivot points for going uphill, the hammerhead is quite tourable. Also, the hammerhead has 5 different pivot points, while the AXL only has 3. If you tour alot, then go with the AXL, its worth the extra $$$. If you don't tour so much, then the hammerhead is the way to go.
