The Custom is an awesome binding for its money, but that would depend on the riding level you are at. The custom has a polycarbonate baseplate binding that has some flex in it, this suits low intermediate or even freestyle riders (Shaun White has used them for as while now). The Cartel has nylon reinforced baseplate and Team skyback, all in all a much more responsive binding with a more aggressive forward lean on the highback, making it a lot less forgiving. My choice for an intermediate and above go for the Cartel, dedicated discs for both 3 hole(burton) and 4 hole(everyone else) boards, and just more comfortable straps, strap in and ride them and the extra $$ won't mean a thing.<br><b>References : </b><br>Managed snowboard shop Own a snowboards shop now... the short answer is yes and yes.

Tallest highback on the Cartel, Cartel has more features listed if you look on Burton's website. Check out some forums too, like the one on http://www.snowboard.com in the binding section.<br><b>References : </b><br> Looks as though the Cartel is more responsive than the Cartel.
