What bindings to mount on Elan M666's?

So I picked up a pair of 75mm waisted Elan M666's. Taking others' advice, I didn't buy the fusion system and bought the sticks flat. Now I need bindings. I've always used Markers, but have had to crank the DIN to a 10 or 11 in order to avoid pre-releasing, which is still not fool-proof. I'm thinking about going with a rossi/Look setup this year. I understand the free-pivoting heel of the P series is out with the new PX series. Is this a good thing or bad thing? I'm thinking either PX 12's or PX 14's. The question would be whether to go with the Ti versions, and with or without lifters.

I'll still have my 70mm waisted Apache's with Piston-control IBC markers for groomers and ice. This setup will be more for off-piste and crud.

Am I missing another solid option besides Look?

Good call having a 75mm ski for off-piste and crud to complement your 70mm ice and groomer ski.

Sigh, I suppose if I was skiing Utah every day I could be on something wider, but for us East Coast skiers, a 75mm midfat is about as wide as it gets. If we get snow while I'm in Vail this year, I'll rent.

Again, I'm jealous of all you Kirkwood guys who get to ride powder (well, Sierra Cement) every day and don't have to deal with East Coast conditions.

My everyday ski has a 78mm waist. I work at Hunter- basically a high angle hockey rink most of the time. And have you ever heard of a place called Jay Peak? Gets more snow than Vail most years.

The FKS 120 has a plastic toepiece. I thought it was identical to the ones with DIN to 15 and 18, but no.
