Anyone had/ridden in Albion Kontact saddle?

Off to the saddler this weekend and wondering if anyone has tried these saddles and if so what are they like? Have been covetously eyeing my instructor's one but she is quite a fierce lady and I dare not ask to try it out! So any reviews welcome!

I didn't like it as much as he K2, prob personal preference.

Which Kontact? The SJ one or the XC one?

I have just got the Ultima Kontact and I love it, typical well made comfortable Ablion saddle with great support and really good for jumping even though I'm a 5'2 shorty I can still get my legs in the right place on the blocks. But my husband who is taller than me like it too, (he hates my Bates close contact saddle as it puts him in a funny position) so it suits a 5'2 and a 5'9" person in this household!!

I'm about 5'4"ish and it was perfect for me but I didn't like the K2. Having said that, I couldn't afford either so ended up getting something else altogether second hand!
