realistically you still probably dont need the jester, unless you want to spend the extra money for a slightly more durable binding (magnesium components instead of some plastic) There are plenty of guys who would still be much bigger than you on the hill skiing with griffons!

if the jesters arnt that much more get the jesters. Its nice to have some comfort room, and not creep near the max din, incase you want to increase it.

what size boot? if you have a creepy small foot for your size and you're below like a 27, then you might want to consider a jester, as the smaller bsl will raise your din considerably

Im 6' foot and 190 lbs and I got some griffon but my full tilt is size 30.5 so my din is pretty low (8) if you got smaller feet than me, consider the jester

And btw Jester got more metal, more solid...

Get deadbolts or FKS!

But out of the two, I'd get jesters, you're a big guy.
