The Sherry Cervi is going to sit you more forward where as the FX3 and the racer are going to sit you a little more on your pockets. Going off Martin's website, the FX3 and the racer don't appear to be hugely different. What I gather is that the racer's stirrups are more forward hung and their swell shapes are slightly different. Also, don't quote me on this, but I think I heard the racer is designed with shorter legged riders in mind.

Because its more of a "forward" ride I feel that I can hustle my horse better especially coming out of a turn. It allows me to get up and off his back. If you like to really sit on your pockets then the FX3 would be better or even a Martha Josey saddle. I also think it depends what works best for that particular horse's running style.
