I have them and really like them. They stay snug and they are comfortable. I do notice that in the right (or wrong) condition your feet tend to come out. I've noticed this has kept me from getting hurt a couple times where the lace up Transits held me in.

Loved the boots, hated the t-bracket mounts. They kept breaking over and over. As well, the plate is weak. On BOTH bindings, the plate bent. I sent them back to LF through EVO and getting Ronix '10 districts instead.

bridges, I have the 08 vantages and the 09's. They both are awesome bindings. Easy to get into, comfortable and very snug. The 08's on the back wear out fast but they fixed that problem in the 09's. I can only imagine they have that fixed in the 10's. I have not had any problems with the T Brackets, and I have been riding both bindings for 2 -3 years now and I dont plan on replacing them any time soon. When I do get around to replacing them I definetley will get the vantages again.

They ARE great, comfortable bindings, and I truly wish they didnt fail on me like they did. I just dont think they can handle a person my size and the impact from failed spins. The surface area of the plate is too small for major flex, and the t-brackets continually broke on me. BOTH bindings ended up bending at the plates. Returned.
