I used to ride a Burton Custom with the 5s, it was a great all around set up I thought. I probably rode that 10 or 20 times in all different conditions. Nothing wrong with that at all.

its not that flows are bad, just the fives are...missions are probably better then the fives but your looking at the bottom of the bucket for bindings. if price is an issue just look online for last years stuff.

valuesports.com is where i bought mine..

FTR what I reviewed was the '08 the fives not the '09's. Honestly if they didn't have the stuck high back issue they would have been a lot better. IMo if you go flow get the higher end ones, I think they have ratchets starting at the M9's but check.
You could also consider the K2 auto for a good quick release alternative that is not rear entry
