Saddles: Austria 3.1 vs. Edge

[Firetree]

I am considering a new saddle and these are two top contenders. Anyone with some insight into pros/cons of either or both would be greatly appreciated. Comparisons welcome. Thank you in advance!

I've never seen the Ege until just now. TA 3.1 was gonna be my next harness but I think I like the look of the Edge better. I like how it snugs up by cinching the sides a lot better than the TA style.

Dammit, that was Chip (Blinky), not Nora. I'm using her computer.

I have an edge with only one minor complaint.

The bridge has a nylon cover on it and rubber bumpers on the ends. Your bridge ring will catch sometimes if you swing yourself all the way to the side. It sits on the actual bridge just to the side of the sleeve's end.

Other than that I feel like I got a lot of saddle for my money. One of my friends picked one up after trying mine out and he's been really happy too.

If you want any close up pics of anything on it let me know.

i got the edge june 011. love it. it adust's very easily.( if someone else wears it) very light. sturdy with a heavy saw on the side. almost to many tool loops.(plenty to choose from) lumbar support is awesome. the bridge dosen't bother me being covered, i would just like it better if it was round instead fo square so i could use a micro pulley. (maybe one day;P)

Thanks y'all. Has anyone experienced the rubber rings on the Edge catching the ring on the bridge during a rotation while climbing?
