Binding rec's: Look NX vs Tyrolia Attack 11 vs ???

Certified Ski Diva
Looking for some feedback on the Look NX and the Tyrolia Attack 11: I have a new pair of Black Pearl 88's(159) and need some binding advice. My old BP's have Marker Squire bindings which have been fine for 12 years of skiing, but I think new bindings on new skis is the way to go. I talked to several ski shops in my area and have heard the folowing recommendations for my height(5ft 4 in)) and weight(118lbs): Look NX or Tyrolia Attack 11....... I consider myself an intermediate skier. Marker Squire 11's are also in the mix, but not my top pick. I would love to hear any thoughts, recommendations, ideas. Thanks.

I don't know anything about the Looks but the Tyrolia 11s are a beginners/kids binding, so maybe not that one for you with having 12 years of skiing experience.

I think the Attack 11 has more binding delta (heel piece higher than toe) than the Look, so if you are sensitive at all to that then I would recommend the Look NX as I believe it is a "flatter" binding. Both are easy to click into in my experience. I have Tyrolia Attack² 11s on my Kenjas (I am around 5' 2", 116lbs and an intermediate skiier but use a DIN of 6 because I have had multiple prereleases at my "recommended" DIN of 5-5.5), but was told that the Attack 13s are better for if you're sensitive to binding delta.

I have Attack 11s on one ski and Attack 14s on another. Both are set to an 8.5 DIN, and I'm very happy with both. I don't consider the Attack 11 a "beginner" binding; it does the job very well as long as your preferred DIN is within range. Getting the Attack 14s on the newer pair was just a matter of low marginal cost difference and brake width availability at that specific vendor.
