I just got a pair of Watson LTDs, and I'm madly in love with them. I feel like number one, the setup is weightless compared to how it was with my last pair of watsons (07 CT). I don't have a swim platform, so we have to pull the boards in before the rider climbs out, and everyone who has pulled my board out has commented how much lighter it is now... It took a set to get the feel of the bindings down, but they are way, way, way more responsive, not to mention I feel like they're easier to go big in. Not necessarily because of the weight of it all, but because the board reacts more efficiently with them versus my old bindings. Poking is harder because they much more stiff than the last bindings I had, but still. I feel like everything is way easier with the bindings. People on here aren't kidding when they say that the bindings are more important than the board. A good comfy pair can make all the difference in the world...
