Thoughts on the Port Lewis pad?

[Equibeau]

Have just been looking at these on the internet and wondered if anyone on here has any experience of them, good or bad? I have been looking at thermal imaging also, but there doesnt seem to be anyone who does that round here. My mare can be a little tight in her back and I wondered if this would check if the saddle fits okay (as the saddle fitter says it does!).

I bought one and have used it a few times. tbh i think for a saddle to fit badly enough to make the patterns they show in their pics on website, it would have to be crippling. i only got slight differences in the indentations it showed on each side. i use it if i can't get a saddler for a while, and a horse comes in with saddles i'm not sure about the fit of.
it isn't easy to level it out every time you need to re-use it again, fwiw.
