Saddles are personal items and what works for one person may not work for another. I had the same model for 10 years and I just replaced it. It works for me.
I was worried that my long-time butt association with SLRs would not be met by the more modern versions, but this seems to be a good replacement. It isn't identical, as the openings are different, and it looks different, but it doesn't feel that different, and I have been able to just switch over.
The larger cutout works. Quality fit and finish.
