I received the Swoard 168M #0154 at the end of January 2004. Due to shoulder dislocation last December, I haven't been able to try EC with the board.

Hi, I am going to purchase DeeLuxe Indy (previously AF700, spring-load forward lean system) or Suzuka (AF600, 5 forward lean positions + relax mode, no spring) boots.

Board: F2 Silberpfeil 162cm.
Bindings: Burton Race, angles about 60/54.
Boots: Raichle SB323, back unlocked.

Any comments on AF700, are they worth of money? Is the forward lean/dampening mechanism well-designed?
