Do they usually come with a cheap binding on them? Do the drill holes cause any problems when the binding is replaced?

You don't need to replace the binding because it is adjustable. But this makes the ski very heavy. For good performance put some newbindings on there. Its ok to have the holes. Your local shop can plug them and put on the newbindings.

I have a pair of powair demos and they're cool

Look at the abuse I put up with from everybody... I think I need a hug.

I bought demoed pow airs as well. The binding does make the ski heavier. They were pretty good untill they delaminated. Its covered on warrenty so its all cool. I'd say its worth it.

make sure you get a warranty... I bought a piar of Lines two seasons ago and I havent had to buy another pair of skis since because I keep getting free skis with my warranttys.
