Martin solved the problem people were complaining about as far as cantle height and fork height by making the seat deeper. However for those of us who are "blessed" in the back end, they made the lip of the seat more narrow. I love the FX and the Crown but I don't like how shallow the seat is. But the lip is wide and fits my behind better when I get thrown back to the lip of the seat. So unless you plan on doing some squats be prepared for that seat to be all over the back of your thighs when your pony launches forward in a turn LOL
Other than that, I love the BTRs. I think Martin Finally got over the stupid gullet thing and realized that the gullet doesn't really matter, the bars do. But that's a different soapbox for a different thread.
