No. Team Pro is about 10mm narrower in the rear, no ventilation holes, bigger rivets (cosmetic impact only), and a little flatter on the top. There is no difference in the thickness or toughness of the leather on a per model basis, although there is some variation in thickness from saddle to saddle, even among the same models.
