I haven't ridden Factions, but I have ridden Alphas and I think (my personal opinion) that there are a lot better bindings out there than Alphas. The Transit is a great binding, and you can pick up last years model pretty cheap. Shanes and Watsons would other good choices. Some guys in my crew have ridden Factions and they really like the boot, they have also ridden my Alphas and preferred the Faction, which I think is a higher end binding compared to the Alpha. Good luck in your choice, if you have a pro shop, drop by and try some on.
