hmm hard answer
Since I believe people that tried both are VERY rare.. We ride currently bomber TD1 and like it. The Phiokka is used in the world cup by many riders. It looks very nice and strong. It all depends on what you intend to do: i guess the phiokka has more settings for canting, lift etc, but the bomber has a good bail system which will not permit it to break so...
We'll try to test them this winter and give feedback.

HI NILS
the unic problem that I think about bomber is that this bindings have bumpers for amortiguation which are of nylon and whith the pass of the time this mateial is deteriorated the problem will be find this pieces if this factory closed because the hard material is very dificult to find in this time.
This is the problem that I had whith other pieces of the boots or of the other bindings because today there are a few material

You can order urethane bumpers in bigger quantities if you are afraid!
I doubt Fin's factory is going to close: he is becoming the leader of the pack in the binding business worldwide so shouldn't leave us crying for parts! So you would still be able to order any part on the internet and receive it within a week whereever you are in the world! neat!
Phiokka is made in italy, and there should also be a good way to find parts. You have to ask them who is their distributor and where they are in your country ( or order direct to them: online)
