I have one, and I really like it.  The shim idea is great.  I had problems at 
first with it bridging (my gelding has very high withers and a bit of a dip 
in his back), but I was able to use the shim system to fix that, and my horse 
is moving nicely now.  There are two thicknesses of shims, and you can cut 
them however you need them to adjust fit.  The guy who makes the saddles 
(David Kaden) has been great about working with me and providing tips.  In 
addition to my horse liking it, I do too.  I feel very balanced in it.  I'd 
definitely recommend looking into them.
