Atomic REX and binding question

I'm thinking about buying a pair of Atomic BetaRide REX's and I was
planning on putting a pair of Fritschi Freeride bindings on them but I
see several places on the net where it's stated that your HAVE to use
Atomic bindings with them. Apparently mounting any other make of
binding on them voids the warranty?

Is this true? If yes, does anyone know why? Has anyone got any
experience using non-Atomic bindings with this years crop of Atomic
skis?

I really like the REX when demoed it last weekend but if I can't use
the binding of my choice then Atomic won't be getting any more money
from me!

Good call. That's my setup.

Don't break them. As someone who used to go through 4-6 pairs of skis
per year, Atomics are pretty durable skis compared to other makes....

My REX's are from last year I believe. Though the construction is
identical say my ski shop friends. They ski great. I'd go with the
Fritshci's over the Atomics becuase Atomic bindings (a) cost too much
and (b) the ones I've seen aren't so good on the uphill portion of
tours.
