I'm very indecisive. Very much so... Takes me an hour to figure out what to watch on Netflix. I know it's a problem. Anyway...

Need to buy bindings for these beauts (skis in photos- 95 waist, primary use east coast daily driver) but can't decide on color or brand/model. I'm aware of the differences and read a million threads but can't decide. Tbh weight is not a priority. I already have pivots and demo attacks and like them both. Prices are very similar somehow give or take $30. I would be happy with any of these but wanted some opinions. So please give me your educated or very inexperienced opinions :)

-Pivot 14
-Attack2 13

6'9"
Weight 690lbs
Din XXX
Age 69
Ability: baller

But really my DIN is 8. That's with listing my ability at 2. I'm too reserved to ever put type 3. I most always use my skis that have the pivots and haven't experienced any prereleases in bad situations (well except one time double ejection yardsale to tomahawk but I landed safely), but then again the extra elastic travel of pivots may be giving me bias towards a lower din. I've had plenty of wicked wipeouts and somehow ended not losing my skis, which leads me to be biased towards the pivots...maybe luck idk. I'm aware 12 is prob better for middle of the range but 14 is fine too considering the price rn.

Pivots are over rated in my opinion. But you buy whatever you want OP. Either of what you posted will work well for you:

You can easily lose those white pivots if you ski anything besides that brown snow.

In all honesty I would use my extra pair of black and white Attacks if it were me. If I was you I would be pricing some STH2s because they look like sick fighter jets.

in my mind pivots are the best bindings out there, and Attacks are the way to go if you dislike the weight and/or price of the pivots because Attacks are lighter and less expensive

another good thing to keep in mind is that pivots are kind of a pain in the ass to switch brakes on. but either way you're set man, those are two amazing binding options so just go with your gut
