Depends, what is your DIN at now, and how much do you plan to ski on these either on area or off. If you need the higher DIN, or are going to ski a LOT of days on these, or are really tough on your equipment, then maybe do Duke. If you don't need the higher DIN, or are not that abusive to your equipment, go Baron and save some $. I have both, my Dukes are on my Mantras with prob 180 days on both skis and bindings. They are beat to S#!T but still tour and ride great. My Barons are on some Blizzards I used to ride more (narrow/shorter ski for crappier ski conditions I used to ride) They have prob. about 60 days on them, and look brand freaking new, still ride great as well. I am 165 lbs, 5'11" and ski with a DIN of 9 on Dukes (184 Mantras), Barons (176 Blizzard IQON), and Dynafits (184 Karhu Storm BCs).

I would recommend the dukes, if you're planning on touring. Your height and weight suggest you may need a higher din then what these can offer, for hardcore skiing. If you're not going to tour, and ski in bounds, go with the jesters, save the money and weight.
