Bindings

I am going to need new bindings this year and I dont want them to cost over $160.00. I ski the whole mountain and park and hopefully some powder this year too. i weigh about 110 lbs and they will probably be mounted on 08/09 Surface Watch Life's or something similar, and i have no idea what brakes are and how big i should get them. The watchlifes are 90 at the waist and if i didnt get them i would get something with a similar waist. i found these: http://www.evogear.com/outlet/alpine-ski-bindings/dynastar-px-12-lifter-2008-2.aspx and it said they come with 80 mm brakes. If you guys have any recomendations for durable bindings that will last long and are good for my kind of skiing, and if you know where to get them cheap please let me know. +K for answers! thanks :-)

look bindings are real good bindings. they are pretty light to. the rossignol bindings are a little heavier than the looks, so its really your decision.

no one's suggested markers yet?
look into the maker 11.0 free or 12.0 free. light binding, wide brake. i ride the 12's on my anthems and the 14's on my pow skis and absolutely love them. i honestly cant remember the last time i've had them eject when i didnt want them to
