I tried a 7.3, a 7.5, and a 7.6. It's amazing the difference in the feel of the ride between those three. I'm now in love I think I've actually settled on the 7.6, the extra dampening effect of that insert in the back makes a huge difference, especially for the bumpy rocky road I'll be riding on. Now I've just gotta come up with the money! Luckily my LBS does a 12 month no payment plan (I want to have at least half up front), they do a standard $75-$100 discount off MSRP, and give a year of free service. They spent quite a bit of time with me fitting without the promise of a sale, so I definitely want to go through them.

I'm so glad I stumbled across TE, I've been reading a lot of the older threads, I've learned so much!
