If you're NTN and want to tour at all I'd go 22D. I own and regularly ski both the OutlawX (60+ days? I dunno, enough) and the Lynx (~5 days before issues put them on the sidelines for a bit). Unless you've sunk the cost or are completely enamored of the Lynx, which does tour better by a bit, go OutlawX. It's less expensive, burlier for sure (the part most exposed to your other ski's edge is steel, not aluminum), it tours better than any Rottefella binding (and almost as well as the Lynx), skis great, takes all the NTN boots, is light, can use brakes...
Full confidence recommending the OutlawX as your only NTN binding, even if you never leave the groomers.

Re: 22D Lynx inbounds?
I’ve looked at the Lynx and there seem to be some niggly issues, mainly discussed on Earn Your Turns forum. The deal breaker for me is the potential releasibilty. That’s why I will stick with the Meidjo, the duck butt clamp is spring loaded and adjustable, as well as being independent of spring pressure. Every time I’ve had something go sideways the Meidjo has released and, at my advanced age, I can’t afford an injury.
