Bates Innova
Why is this saddle SO much more expensive than this one?
I see the difference between them, but quite honestly, the cheaper one looks more comfortable and prettier o.O (no I'm not buying, just wondering why it's SO expensive!)
Cheap one:

WAY too expensive one:

Because they are stunning to sit in!!
This is the exact saddle that I am upgrading to when I finalise my new horse 
Go to your local store and sit in each one for the sake of it, you will feel the difference once you have been in each one. It is like comparing a good pair of Italian leather shoes to some cheap factory ones.
However that same saddle here in Aus, is well over $3000 so I wish I could pay your amount. LOL
About the ratings, we never know how well anyone treats their gear. I have covers on all my saddles and they are immediately put away when I have finished using them to be protected. I have a Bates Caprilli and it is an excellent saddle, if you look after things it makes all the difference.
