Seems like lots of folks here prefer the Flex over the Mantis, but no one is really talking about body size/shape, which seems to me (as a newbie who's pondering which to buy as a first saddle) to be very important to this discussion. I'm 6'3, 165 lbs. with a 32" waist and no backside to speak of. Do y'all think the Flex would be as advantageous (and worth the extra $70) for a guy built like me, or does it really only shine for the bigger fellers out there?
Also, it seems obvious that the Mantis is better for hot weather hunting. With the SBW heater, the Mantis also seems better suited for cold-weather hunting. I doubt you could make the Flex cooler for hot hunts, but what options are there for warming up the Flex?
