As a huge fan of DIY and non-commercial saddle toys, the OP caught my eye immediately his post and I had to find out more. I have had several conversations with Matthew since that day and have had the pleasure of seeing his work in person. I didn't want to post anything until I had ample time to test one myself, but I can add that the attention to detail, sewing, and overall quality on mine is better than the Aerohunter Flex, and more comfortable than any other commercial saddle I have tried (going back to a Greene's). It has been tested side by side on trees with the Flex and Wraptor and beat them both, and before this point, I would have put the Wraptor and Flex in a dead heat for most comfortable. If you are wanting to go a different route than the minions, I would encourage you to reach out to Matthew, explore possibilities, and see what you think for yourselves. Sorry for the selected picture area, but I really like having a one of a kind saddle, so I didn't want to share too much, and the previous posts had lots of great pics already!
