Hi, my friends:
I got a good deal for a pair of new Marker M4.1 SC2 binding($60)
from a local store. It's a couple of years old model but brand new.
I heard of SC(Select Control) and like the idea. Just never try that
before. Does anyone here have real experience of this binding or SC
type of Marker binding?
Thanks for your help.

They aren't bad bindings, especially considering the price you paid.
However, they ARE heavy. The SC feature sounds great, but of questionable
real merit. If it tells you anything, I don't think Marker still sells a SC
binding.

If it is a SC2, you got the Marker 41, not the 4.1, which is a newer model.
The 41 actually was a couple of notches up the food chain from the 4.1,
which is a bunny binding. I've got a pair on my rock skis, never had a
problem with them.

Sure they do.. in fact, you can add SC to any Marker binding. see
http://www.markeri.com/markerinterfaces.htm
However, I wouldnt let the presence or absence of it drive my decision. I
have it, and don't feel it changes the ski feel very much, no matter which
setting I use.

Marker have moved to a more dynamic system with a shock absorbing
piston.
I can tell the difference be*** the three setting since I get to ski
very variable conditions in the course of an [Eastern] day. It is
pretty subtle and I would not miss it if I did not have it.

Be sure the 4.1 falls withing the DIN range you need, too.

Well, I did some research on SC binding. Looks that it works well on
those soft skis. It makes sense to me because basically it uses the
switch to make different degree of stiffness by bending the ski. So
if the ski itself is already stiff, there will be less effect on it.
My ski is Agyl Sup, another stiff one. So I don't think it will make
too much difference on it. OK, without SC in consideration, do you
guys still think Marker 41 is good binding for my Agyl Sup?

Thanks,
Dennis
