You probably won't see me hucking anything over 20 and I don't spend much time in the park. These are going on Rocker 2 122s as a dedicated powder ski.
First off, either sucks as an AT binder, think of them more as a side county binder. they are heavy and the walk modes sucks. If you really want an AT binder, get tech.
That said the biggest difference between Duke and Barron is the higher DIN, which since you are at the max of the Barron means you should probably go Duke. If you are a hard charger and huck a lot, even if "only" 20, the Duke will hold up better. The Duke weights a little more, but they are both boat anchors.
I agree it is a constitutional right for Americans to be assholes...its just too bad that so many take the opportunity...iscariot
