rails are for trains
If I had a dollar for every time capitalism was blamed for problems caused by the government I'd be a rich fat film maker in a baseball hat.

Marker bindings have a three years warranty in the USA:
"MARKER´s warranty is extended to the customer through the
MARKER authorized retailer. MARKER requests that warranty claims
or inquiries be processed by MARKER authorized retailers
on behalf of their customers. In some instances, if a retail customer should
contact MARKER directly, MARKER will process the claim or inquiry.
Defective product is defined as that product, component or part
thereof which, due to material failure or defect in workmanship, no
longer functions properly for its intended use. Final decisions regarding
any claimed product defect will be made solely by a representative
of MARKER. MARKER will, at its sole discretion, repair, replace or
refund the purchase price of a defective retail binding for a period of
two years (USA 3 years), rental and demo bindings one year.
Damage caused by improper handling, non - observance of the instructions
for use, non - qualified installation, improper adjustment,
insufficient maintenance and servicing, skiing accidents, abuse of
product or normal wear is not covered under warranty. All wearing
parts and cosmetics are exempt from warranty. MARKER will not be
liable for incidental or consequential damages of any nature unless
such limitation is expressly prohibited by law in the applicable jurisdiction.
All implied warranties are expressly disclaimed unless such
disclaimer is prohibited by law. In that event, the duration of any
implied warranties shall be concurrent with the period of express
warranties stated herein."

They've shaved down/reshaped the rounded section that your heel comes down on in the current binding, making stepping in only slightly more effort than a Tyrolia or Salomon heel. I've stepped into a bunch of them lately, and they've eliminated the thing I disliked most about the previous design. They should have made this adjustment years ago, as the TCX and race bindings have always been super easy to get into.
I don't expect AFD adjustment or brake release problems with the Duke PT, and the heel is basically a Jester unit which has been as durable as anything. I do expect people to lose the cowling when they take it off to skin, but that won't exactly be Marker's fault.

And they are sweet, especially like the "raw" colorway . . .

If you're at all sensitive to stance, you will notice a difference between STH2 and Look. STH2 have significantly more ramp than the old STH and Look SPX/Pivot. I think Marker is on the flatter side as well. The longer your boot sole, the less this matters since the delta occurs over a longer distance.
Boot ramp/forward lean also play into the equation, as does where your bindings are mounted on the ski. For my setup I prefer the flatter ramp of Look over STH2. The only thing I like better about Solly is the worm gear forward pressure adjustment, which is just stupid easy and seems more precise than the SPX notched adjustment.

Wardens feel similar to Pivot 14's in terms of ramp. Someone will be along with the exact numbers shortly. However, I do think they ski more harshly than the Pivots.
