Hi Mike, I just read archives, so I can't get your
address. I ride a Solstice, and man, I love it. I bought it last
summer for $1125 on ebay, so it is possible to get them for less than
$2000. It is a beautifully made saddle and I have gotten better about not
tossing it around like I have the cheaper saddles I have used. I don't
have any experience with the other models you asked about, but this solstice
fits my mare and I to a tee - putting my legs right under me and aleviating the
knee pain I had with western type saddles.
