I'm glad it works for you.

The lack of a saddle nose would be a problem for many enthusiast cyclists. Obviously people aren't sitting on the nose, but it's used as another contact point to control the bike at high efforts, when people aren't really putting a lot of weight in the saddle at all.

it still has a nose you can use to control your bicycle... despite ~ 4/5 of my 50,000 kilometers (that i stopped counting after that) being on conventional saddles, it's just fine to control with it, be it fully loaded (2 or 4 panniers) for camping @ a mild winter or with no rack at all; & i would say my frame geometry is _twitchy_ ;)
