Burton Cartel vs Burton Genesis (Re:Flex)

So I'm having a tough time making a decision between the 2015 Cartel bindings and the Genesis bindings.
I've read that the Cartel's are a bit stiffer and better for charging, while the Genesis are more form-fitting and forgiving in terms of lateral movement etc.
Also, there is a fair price difference between the two, with the Genesis coming in at around $60 more expensive - is that any kind of reflection in ride quality or is is because the Genesis are so unique? Of course, I know the Cartels are amazing award-winning bindings, so for the Genesis to be more pricey might mean something?
My biggest problem is identifying my ride style; I'm a big fan of charging down steeps real hard and fast, but I also love playful weaving through trees and stuff like that. I don't want to sacrifice those charging capabilities with the Genesis, but I don't want to sacrifice the playfulness of a more flexible binding if I go with the Cartels.
Lastly, (and I know this is kind of dumb and it doesn't hold too much weight in the debate) I'm not a huge fan of the Cartel's color schemes. I like bright, in your face bindings like the Phoenix Genesis, but I wouldn't mind having bindings that match my board (I have a 156 Custom Flying V with the yellow/blue deck, and the Cartels I would buy are a similar yellow/blue scheme).
Thanks for the help, I appreciate anything I can get. I know no matter which bindings I choose I'll be satisfied - Burton is not so quick to fall short.
