[Looking for advice on Atomic bindings]

Hello,

My name is Radu and I am new to this forum. I am looking for some advice. I started skiing 12 years ago when I was 40. Over time I got to an intermediate level. Anyway, 10 years ago I got my first skis at a swap, a used pair of Atomic Beta Race 9'16 with Centro 4:12 bindings (first picture). Maybe they were too much for a beginner, however I like them a lot. I do have a problem they weigh a lot and I would like to sit a little lower on them. The fact that the Centro are adjustable make them heavier. I would like to replace them with fixed bindings (third picture) considering that my boot size will not change.

The Beta Race are profiled having 2 longitudinal ribs and there is a plate (see second picture) between the ribbed surface and the bindings. This plate will likely remain there.

Does it make sense what I intend to do? Any advice?

 

Thank you
