The way I see it, I can carve with my K2 Clicker flat bindings & K2 Guide boots. So I would think that the Catek Freeride bindings would be excellent to carve with! Good luck!

Last year, I was carving with 4 year old burton customs on my beater board (solomon 550) with ease. Later in the year, I picked up Cateks and found it to be more comfortable to carve (much less calf fatigue on the toe edge).

This year I've got a Donek Wide. The wide's waist along with the slight lift gained from the cateks provided me with the benefit of no toe drag with my relaxed stance. I haven't been blessed with enough snow yet to reach a conclusion about this setup. I took it out last Friday but was too scared to really see if I could carve hard in fear of hitting one of the billion people who also decided to go to kmart (killington).
