I love how light these bindings are! So far they have worked great. My only gripe with them is that they can sometimes be a pain to align the front points into the boot toes on steep terrain.
Update: I recently took a decent fall and both skis popped. However, one of the leash cables actually broke. Not at the crimp, but the actual cable broke! Lame. Luckily, my friends were faster than me and we able to retrieve my ski that shot away like a missile. Time to get some brakes!

When I first got my bindings and was getting used to them, I used a permanent marker and made small marks on my boots right above where the holes are. That helped provide a visual reference to where I needed to align the front points to.

Boot insertion: Try angling one of the boot's hole in, with the other hole up in the air above the binding, then "rolling" the other hole down, and into place while applying pressure. Work well, even on places that suck for putting on skis. The cable is supposed to break away, so if your being buried, your not dragged down by your ski.
