Jim, I have Atomic Rainiers b/c skis with Voile cable 3 pins on the Voile release kit. I got the release kit in case I want to try some light tele skiing. PLus, if I want to change to a Voile hardwire, they will snap into the same kit.

I'm not wild about the 3 pins because they are hard to fasten with certain boots because of the thickness of the duckbill, but generally I like them.

I've also got skins which make a big difference when towing my sled.

I'm looking for a used pair of Garmont Excursion boots. I rented a pair in Yosemite last winter and really like them.

TR, Jim's point about edging is another reason to reconsider Berwins. No edging, no turning.
