What they said... I couldn't get comfortable in the Mantis; kept having to pull it down. Kestrel cups better and stays put once I'm settled.Mantis is as comfortable as the back seat of a Ferrari. Kestrel is as comfortable as a VW hippie bus with a plush sofa.
Just my opinion.
I think you are going to find about the same number of people that prefer the Mantis, as the kestrel and many that prefer the kite, the JX 3, etc. Saddles are so personal the only way to know what fits you is to try it.
