4frnt Attack bindings versus FKS

I've been riding FKS for over 15 years and dont trust anything else. Got a new all around resort type ski and I'm looking for a good light binding. If I had an extra $250 I'd just buy some FKS, but I'm looking to save some money with the Attack 13's and still have a well performing binding for the resort.
Anybody have an experience actually riding the Attack 13's? good enough? or are they shitty plastic garbage?
Still transfer power to ski similar to FKS?
I'm would love to have a lighter binding and save a little money. I can get some attack 13's for cheap or pay the usual $200-300 for FKS and its a heavier binder.
Any information would be great...thanks!

tyrolia makes 4frnts bindings, and yea they're pretty good, just gotta get the toe height right. not as much elastic travel as an fks, and probably not quite as durable, but definitely a solid binding.

If you are used to pivots just get pivots, or you'll most likely regret it. Pivots also last 5-10 seasons so you aren't really paying very much.

thanks guys, thanks for feedback.
talked a buddy who used to work for 4frnt, solid skier says he has no problems with them. got some and mounted them up, going to give them a shot. Hopefully they work, otherwise its back to FKS.

Carlitos.. I've been rockin the 4frnt 16's for a few seasons.. Older tyrolia model but same heal piece.. They've worked good for me.. Dins probably run a bit higher compared to = turntable retention.. you were a bit harder on bindings than I was, but they are good.
