The Neox's are a slightly better design, and made by Tyrolia, but the Race binders scare me. I have 2 new pairs sitting in my bedroom, and 2 pairs of Atomic WC racestock race skis in the basement that barely see the light of day. The one pair is brand new, 186cm, 27m worldcup GS skis that have 3 runs on them. After my injuries, I'm just afraid, as much as I love the way they ski.
