I need binding help

So I currently have the Marker Free 12.0 bindings.  I ski on the K2 Seth.  I know that some people hate Marker but I have skied them forever.  I don't ski any park really.  Mainly back country, groomers and trees.  Mostly POW.  I was looking at the new Marker Jester.  Does anyone think that there will really be a difference in performance?  Do you think that I will really notice anything different, thanks.

PS, if you just wanna bash Marker, please do not respond as that will not help me.

Thanks.

honestly i think all bindings barnds and such feel the same performance wise, except for ride height and wieght. markers aren't bad bindings, i used to use them for racing. i would give the jesters some time on the market b4 buying a pair if the ones you have still work.

i think the jester's are a bit more heavy duty. i have heard people rave about them being good so i'd say they're legit.

jesters are making me actually consider marker as a legit binding. From what I've heard of people who've used them they are a big improvement.

I dunno, I just looked at a pair of jeters today.  They look like they have a lot of plastic on them for suck a high binding.  I think that my binding ( I said that I had the 12.0  I meant 14.0) has more metal than the Jester..  I mean, would I really notice a difference?

personally I wouldnt bother with the jester, I do like the look of the duke however with its touring feature. I think the jester is perhaps a little overpriced. Have a look at the sth16 from salomon or the new rossi bindings which feature the fks toe and axial heel, I think one of them is called the xxl.

Why would you even consider the Jester, if all you ride is BC pow and trees the Duke is the way to go - not that much more than the Jester and has touring features.  I really want the Duke

Wow, no where near true! Do you remember the Invaders?

I rest my case.
