From some of the limited research I've done, I've found that bindings really vary based on a couple of factors: the maximum DIN setting and weight. Given my light weight, my DINs are set pretty low at around 7. I certainly wouldn't need a binding that goes up to 14. Given that and my desire to find a lighter weight binding, I'm considering these two:

Rossignol Axium 100
Look P10 Titanium

Any thoughts on these two models and/or comments on whether my logic for selecting these two is flawed? Again, I don't think I would ever need a DIN higher than 10 which is the upper limit on both of these. I also heard that you should aim for a binding where your DIN falls in the middle of the range. Any thoughts there? At a DIN of 7, I'm right in the middle on both of these (DIN range of 3-10).

Thoughts?
