Ronix Cells vs. LF Watson

I narrowed down my 2 final choices between the Ronix Cells and the LF Watson CT. Who has some experience with these bindings and how well have they been holding up? I like the lightness of the Ronix, but love the ease of entry/exit of the LF.

Right now I am riding the Watsons, I absolutely love them. No experience with the Cells, but I would def recommend the Watsons.

I've been riding OT Watsons and love 'em - supportive & comfy. Just picked up some CTs for the winter and will be trying them on Sunday. I'll let you know.

Watson CT or OT over the Cells, at least for my foot. The Cells were not nearly as comfortable as the Watson.

Aaargh! The shop sent the wrong size Watsons so I won't be trying them this weekend.

I ride the Shane 06 and I really love!!! Like I said, I tried the Watson 07 this afternoon and it felt real great!!! It's stiffer and tighter than the Shane... I loved it! I tried the Cell in a shop (never), really comfortable but they are not suppose to be tough!!!

I had a pair of CT Shane's, 07 byerlys and 06 parks boots last year, and i have the cells this year, and they are by far the most comfortable boot i've ever been in. The problem i had with the shane's is that they dont drain at all. I would ride around with water up to the top. But with my cells, as soon as i get up all the water's gone. I love them!

It's not the first time that somebody talk about the drain problem of the Shane but it's not my case!!! I think it's because I got the real correct size... if it's a bit to long or too wide, water have a place to stay and then, they don't drain!!! Ronix don't have this problem because they got all sizes... you are a 10, there's a 10!!! With the Shane, you are a 10, take the 9-11 size!!!! I really think that Ronix are much comfortable, but I think it's not a good thing to buy the first year series because they had so much problems with the durability!!! I'm pretty sure that problem is gonna be resolved this year!!!!

I ended up buying the Cells. They felt like they held my foot a little better than the Watsons. Havent rode them yet, but mounted them onto my board and carpet tested them for a bit. I gotta say, these things are so easy to get in/out of, al it took was a little bit of water. Way less work than my older Murrays.
