Agreed, Eric. I would also assert that folks who think the B17 is too hard or uncomfortable -- *after *confirming they have it adjusted/placed correctly -- try the B17 *Imperial*. The cutout does make a difference, but it still quite supportive.
I have also tried the C19 carved. I like the B17's flatter shape better. The C19 is more rounded and basically has a lot of extra width that doesn't offer support under the sit bones.
