Ok so I found a 2012 Senate C with a small blem on the top sheet for a really good price. I'm pretty set on buying it, but I'm torn between binding options. The place I am buying the ski from will mount a Vector/ RTP combo for $150 extra, but I also found a really good deal on a 2011 Strada boot that I can get for $100. After I buy the RTP to match with the Strada, the price would come to be about the same for both options. I wouldn't mind being able to share the ski with my dad and brother at times (advantage Vector), I always put my ski on in the water (is the Strada easy to get on in the water?), and it would be nice to have the ski mounted when I receive it (advantage Vector). I also don't have access to someone that could properly mold the Strada's Intuitions to my feet properly and I am a little unsure about sizing with the Strada (usually wear an 11 in shoes, particularly Nike. With all of that being said, is the difference in performance and comfort significant enough for someone at my level to go with the Strada? Or is the Strada kind of overkill?
On a separate but related note, the site that has the great deal on the Stradas is called waterskiequipmentstore.com. Does anyone have any experience with this site? I've never heard of it so I'm a little weary of purchasing from there.
