The Duke/Baron are the most durable of the hybrid bindings. About midway through the season there started to be some durability issues with both the new freeride pros and the f12s, specifically with the toe piece. Because the toe piece was shifted forward to provide for a better/easier/smoother pivot when touring, the shift forward also made it more vulnerable, and there started to be quite a few broken toe pieces with both models. If you're looking for durability I would go with the Duke/Baron. Marker has pretty much eliminated all the kinks with broken afd's in those models.
