The demo binding is okay but the retail binding has less slop in it so on paper the ski should ski better.
I would get the Recon anyway since rocker made it a much better ski.

I thought the Richter replaced the Recon?

It did. The Ricter is the new model with rocker.

I do not like the binding system on that style K2. After use even the consumer binding on these get quite loose. I had 1 of my demos completly have the binding come off the mounting sytem this year, and I know may people who have those binding systems over the years and there is a bad jiggle to the binding on the ski.
