its a little bit of thread drift but ... Is insert failure a rjsk with a certain type of ski construction? I'm considering using quiver killer inserts on a pair of wailer 112 w the tour 1 construction. I'm wondering if this is a bad idea.

I almost exclusively run skis with inserts these days

Inserts are heavier than factory screws and testing indicates that if installed properly their pull-out strength is about the same as factory screws.
The hole drilled in the top sheet of the ski is larger and could weaken the ski if not installed and glued properly.
Really the only reason to install inserts is if you want to own many pairs of skis, but are trying economize on how many pairs of bindings you need to buy.
