Pretty interesting if it works as planned.  Seems Kenji isn't the only one who's been working on it..  Fair gap between CAD rendering and the April 16 Youtube prototype vid.  Will be surprise if he makes his fall 2014 production version debut, but he's not wasting any time - his website is under construction, and he fired up a twitter feed on Sunday which might be worth following.  Some links to reviewer testing and other chatter sites found there. 

Will also be interesting to see if he 'sells out' soon.  I might be interested if I was Rott, BD etc.

Ha! I just invested in TTS after a couple years of deliberation and sort of giving up hope. This will be good to watch and I'll definitely be buying this if it tours well and easily.

Amen on the boot innovation being next. TLT 6 with a flexible bellows.

I see he's using the Plum toe, which has a history of shear failures at the toe wing/toe pin interface.

Well, then it wouldn't be a TLT6.  ;)  Adding a bellows would completely change the boot, add weight and reduce stiffness.  The essential problem with lightweight tele is that stiff-soled AT boots can always be made lighter than boots with a flexible sole, and a binding for stiff-soled AT boots can always be made lighter than an active tele binding.

FWIW, I'm using TLT6Ms in TTS bindings on one of my fat fishscale rigs (Vector BC).  Working great, allows me to skin in full free tech-toe tour mode, ski downhill with near AT binding performance, and allows me to shuffle around on the fishscales with a bit heel lift in TTS downhill mode.  It's by far the best billygoating setup I've ever used.  I plan to do the same on my other fat fishscale rig (Charger BC).
