22d lynx inbounds

Hey folks,
After my initial repulsion, documented here a while back, of the 22D Lynx paired with a new pair of old Tx boots (not pro), I've completely revised my thoughts on them. I love the feel and control!
Yes, I think they have softened up a bit, as have the boots I guess.
They still have surprising resistance to *initial* heel lift when switching from 75mm. But that's fine.

I'm running them on the Summitcone Pariah, and they have been my go to combo for resort turns- NE ice to Utah Pow.
I realize they are marketed as "light touring" bindings...
And recall that I asked the same question before I bought!

I'm sub 165 lbs dressed, and tele pretty aggressively (for a 50 something). Bumps, jumps, woods...
I feel like combo of the low soft TX boot and the lynx is beautiful skiing, but powerful enough for anything I want to ski.

Am I pushing my luck here? Anyone else "punishing" lynx in-bounds regularly?
Should I really get something else?
Is the meidjo really tougher?

I've used the Meidjo for years and liked it, but I've broken parts on them. I doubt they're tougher, but I haven't skied the Lynx.

I have been using ski brakes as well, but I'm going back to leashes.

Dostie compares them:
