need some help picking bindings for my new setup

I am trying to decide between several bindings that are currently steeply discounted and may fit what i am looking for. I recently upgraded to burton drivers and a gnu billy goat. I want to replace my old burton customs bindings which are probably from around '08. I have been looking at the union charger, union atlas and burton cartel specifically. I am 6 ft 200 lbs and an intermediate to advanced rider. The chargers seem like a cool binding and i can get the 50 percent off. The Atlas I have found for 140 and i have seen some good reviews but wonder if they may be a bit soft for me. The cartel also is a well reviewed binding and supposedly more adjustable than the unions. Anyone have experience using these bindings with the other gear that i plan to use them with or just insight on the bindings themselves?

I own both the Cartel and Atlases, they are fairly similar mid flex all mt freestyle type bindings. Between the two I feel the Atlases have a slight edge in responsiveness and adjustability, however in my experience Burton bindings have been more durable/reliable than Union.

I don't have first hand experience with the Chargers, but those are going to be more aggressive/responsive than the other two and probably a better match for your boot/binding setup and riding style. These would be more comparable to the Diodes if you looking between Burton and Union.
