Good news-and more food for thought. I heard back from Akers Ski first thing today. They will install the bindings for $15 per pair if I decide to buy a ski package such as this one-which features Alpina Lite Terrains. A no-brainer for me; I'm happy to have someone else install them- if this package is what I decide to go with ultimately.

I had been leaning slightly more toward Rossignol BC 90s or Madshus Epochs. But...I was also researching the Alpina Lite Terrains-which do not seem as readily available as the other two. I'm torn between sitting it out (and risk missing the boat due to size availability) in hopes of a better deal...or just waiting until next year. We shall see...
