Those of you who own or ride andalusians, what type of dressage saddles do you find fit well?

Thanks
 
I have a Michela Leng dressage saddle for my Spanish man. The company has now changed name so if you google strada saddles you will find them. Not cheap though and if you like the normal dressage saddles that sit you six inches above your horses back with knee rolls so big that it looks like to have two rolls of carpet strapped to your horses side then these saddles are not for you! I have a jumping saddle which is the same make. I swear by them! They give me so much confidence!
 
I know a few Andalusians and most of them have Albion dressage saddles.
My friend's Anglo Arab has a Strada saddle and I loathe it. I hate having to make sure the panels are warm enough before sitting on it, which takes forever in winter, but is always preferable to sitting on a horse with its back up. It puts me in an odd position and they only come in one seat size, which means that I swim about in the seat without a huge seat saver taking up some of the room!
Although I don't actually find the Strada as uncomfortable to sit on as the Albions.
