Armada JP vs. Julien (2007)

This awesome ski is made for backcountry jumping and jibbing. These skis are pretty fat at 103 underfoot and are great in powder. Supposed to be a light ski for its size and comes in a smaller size 178 in this skis 3rd year. As all armada it has some sick graphics.

This ski is very light and is made for the BC. It has a higher tail than tip for optimal switch riding.

To me this JP vs Julien is the best freestyle backountry ski ever. It's really built like a freestyle ski, well centered, well balanced, a good pop, etc... The only difference with a freestyle ski is the width in fact. No need 130 under feet, i'm 1m95 for 85kg and it's almost impossible to push its nose under snow. The long tail is pretty efficient, swith riding and landing is very easy. 
For pure freeride sure it doesn't cut like a real freeride ski, but it slides and it's a lot funnier to me ! 
It's quite easy on piste, snow must be soft though... Of courser it's a lot less accurate than a narrower ski, it's just not made for that. 
After a lot of FSBC skis tried, i must say it's the first i feel like if i was with a freestyle ski in a park when i'm in the backcountry.

What is a good binding for the JP? 
 
I need lightweight, durable,and affordable.

I bought these skis at the beggining of the year and was not sure if i would like them. however, they are simply the ultimate for backcountry jumping. the only thing is that they are basically built not to turn, so carving is not effortless.
