Slingshot boards: Compatible bindings,butterslides

I have some questions about Slingshot boards:

1.) Will non-Slingshot bindings work? From what I've read the answer appears to be Yes, but I want to be sure. I'm looking to buy the Liquid Force Vantage bindings because of their velcro feature (http://www.wakeside.com/product/wakeboard_gear/mens/wakeboard_bindings/liquid+force+vantage+limited+edition+wakeboard+bin dings+2008.do).

And even if the non-Slingshot bindings DO work, will they negate the benefits of the flex board since they won't be as tightly connected to it at heel and toe?

I'm just sick of using laces and really want to get the velcro boots.

I do not have a way to demo the board or bindings.

2.) I read that the Slingshot boards are harder to do butterslides on. Is that really true? That would be a dealbreaker for me.

3.) I am 5'11" and 150lbs. Any suggestions on the board length?

Thanks!
