Just a quick update on my saddle exploits. I borrowed a C17 carved from a friend and I can say without a doubt that I like it better than the regular C17. The difference in the amount of "give" is noticeable but I am not yet convinced that this is the one. What I don't like about it is that I can feel its width if that makes sense. I think I just need something narrower. I have a Charge Spoon that I was able to pick up new for less than $30. I am going to try that one next. If that doesn't work I am going to try the C15 carved.
