Cutout Leather Saddles

I think I remember a conversation I once had with somebody who told me that somebody out there modifies leather saddles by giving them a sewn cutout. Does anybody know anything about this? As my brooks has broken in, its begun to develop a ridge in the middle. While the saddle is otherwise great, the middle is NOT a place for a ridge. Thanks for info.

I've never cut the center out of one, but I've seen it done. Looks pinchy to me

I'm actually considering getting rid of the lacing on mine. I'll give it a little more time to break in first, but it seems to add too much stiffness in the gooch region. Maybe I just need to tilt it down one more notch.

I'd like to try one of these but I'm dazed by the number of options. I have no idea which model to buy. I've emailed them and hope they can offer some guidance.
