Im looking for a second hand dressage saddle to upgrade from my tried and trusted basic Thorowgood which has got us through the basics this last year, so here is the dilemma for my slightly high-withered young TB.
Both are for sale which I like, both very similar priced, so very little to chose from either so need some user reviews if possible.

Keiffer Kiel 3000
or
Ideal Suzannah

The good, the bad, the ugly points of each one please?
 
Until you ride in them it can be hard to judge, the horse may prefer one over the other, so might you, get the saddler to bring a selection and try as many as you can only then will you know which one is best, if buying without the option of a proper trial you take the risk of it not fitting or suiting the horse, even if it should in theory.
 
Saddler doesnt stock either saddle as they are private sales. Also, the local MS is not really the most proficient!!! No other saddler local who stocks saddles. Currently on my 10th saddle with several horses, but none of them have been either of these brands. Fit/comfort is not too much of an issue as I have someone to reflock / adjust if needed.

Im more interested in hearing general opinions and reviews on the actual saddle quality and durability?
