I haven't tried the cutout. Well, I have one saddle that someone put a DIY cutout into, and though they did a pretty good job, it makes the saddle sag. I will try lacing it. I do not like a sagging saddle!

On the other hand, I suspect the advantages of the cutout are not meant for you. Elsewhere I mentioned that I rode centuries every month last year except for May, but I did not give the specific reason for May's failure. Prostatitis. That painful episode did much to increase my interest in the cutout saddle design.
