The saddle on the '07 and '08 7.3fx was a little nicer than the current model, in my opinion. I just replaced my vanished '07 with an '09 and there are a few of small alterations that I am not at all pleased with. This is one of them. Another is the switch from the RM-60 freewheel to the RM-30. My '07 with the RM-60 felt better and was much quieter than the RM-30 in '09. Not sure what the difference is. The rims have also changed, and may account for some of the ride change, but I can't find much information on "camino" vs "nebula" rims. There were similar slight downgrades between '06 and '07.
