Default Rome 390's or Ride Beta mvnts

Hey guys just picked up a new Rome Graft and figured i should also replace my crappy Drake fifties while everything is still super cheap. After doing research i have narrowed it down to the 390's or the beta's. Just curious what everyones opinions are on the beta's mainly. I know everyone on this site recommends the 390's. Also i found the 390's at Skate Shoes, Skateboards, and Snowboards at Active Ride Shop for a measly 94 dollars and it also shows that they have the L/XL in stock which quite honestly seems to good to be true. If anyone has delt with that site before id love some feedback. thanks

active is definitely a legit place to buy from. you'll be so pleased with the 390's too, I absolutely love mine (although i have broke 2 straps, rome is good with replacing them). I'd snatch them up for sure

That is definitely an exception and not the rule. I know plenty of people who have beat the living shit out of their 390's with no failure. At least 50 days in a season, some over 100.

My buddy and I both ride ROME grafts he picked up the 390's and I went for the ride delta's. Both bindings took over 50 days of riding all park last season without any breaking . He is in love with his 390's ..... I am debating picking up a set

Well seems like the 390's are the way to go. However i have seen several reviews on the 390's talking about durability issues with the straps and ratcheting system. But it seems like a pretty rare occurence.
Hey sweeny what do you think of the delta's? I know they are the step down from the beta's but they share some of the same tech. Did they compare the 390's in terms of performance?

I was also thinking about Looking more into the cartel's seeing as they are around the same price and i have heard some good things. Anyone have any opinions on the cartel's?
Thanks for the feedback
