Royal Rider Jump 25 flex or Sprenger System 4 stirrups?

Anyone have either of the above, and are they any good!?
I dont know which ones to go for!

I have Sprenger system 4s and they are fantastic - hate riding in anything else now! Normal stirrups make my knees and ankles hurt

I wouldn't swap my Sprenger System 4's for anything - I can ride and hunt and jump pretty much pain free now. Before I got them, jumping lessons were almost out of the question.

Think I'm getting the names right, but not 100% sure! I have the sprenger ones myself (black with blue bits on?), and do like them although they don't make a huge difference. Last weekend I rode a horse with the RR ones (with air cushion - ad has Anky and JW on it?) and they were superb, if I hadn't already got the expensive sprenger ones I would definately go out and buuy a pair.

I have Royal Rider ones which I love but I'd quite like to try the Sprenger System 4's too.

Is there anyone you could borrow from to see which ones you like best?

Yeah i know someone with the Royal rider ones which she loves, but i dont know anyone with the Sprengers, they are the same price so im not sure which ones to go for.

I've got the flex royal riders, they have a good grip, but the flex bit is quite stiff relatively. So I find it easier to get my heel down with my metalab spring ones, but like the royals on my jumping wow as they are light stirrups.

I would think the system 4 sprengers will probably help more with foot position, but the royal rider flex will be better for grip and are much lighter.
