Saddle Platform/Climber...Next Big Secret...?

I have an xop top (and also a LW if the xop breaks!). I did the bolt mod originally but didnt like how the arms pulled in with no side support from the casting. Then i flipped the arms but didnt like the ridge of casting against my feet. What i seem to like best is having the summit climbing stirrups attached to the arms. It really seems to negate the whole belt angle issue for me and provides a much more uniform climb. With a foot strap the platform was always sorta flopping around. The stirrups keep it tighter. It cuts down on available room of the platform but not enough to care.

Do you have a picture of the summit stirrups on your xop?
