Shallow is actually what I liked last time around, and will be here tomorrow.
By the way, backcountry.com has the Fabric Scoop Ultimate on clearance right now.
What's weird is I came from exclusively flat saddles with a cutout. The Scoop Shallow has neither, but works best for me...go figure. And I even have a more aggressive position now too, for which the Flat is supposed to be the best. So, who knows, but it works, so I'm now in the process of changing out all my saddles with the same one. Hard to go back and forth now...it's just setting them up just right takes more time than I like.
