Anyone ride in one or try one? I love the concept of a narrower twist, upswept panel and shoulder freedom. I do have a long femur and room for my thigh is a concern. Looking for feedback from those who own one or who have tried one. Likes/dislikes.

I ride in the Prestige D1 Zero and LOVE it! If you do a quick search for D1 Zero you will see a very recent thread involving gluten free breadsticks and leparachans I love it so much! LOL
I don’t have any dislikes. For my short back pony and I its perfect. She moved so freely in it. My position is solid in it and the comfort level of the seat is unreal…hence the funny conversation you will see about breadsticks and leparachans! LOL
i have D1DK and i love love love it. mine has a short flap which works for me (i’m 5’3") and the block is therefore appropriately shaped/sized for the flap which means my trainer who is 5’7" has a very hard time sitting in that saddle. 
however, with that being said, we did sit in a few with the regular flap length and it fit the 5’7" long femur frame well. 
I am 5’10" with a very long femur, and love the D1K. I have had it for about a year, and it fits my muscular Oldenburg really well - both he and my other horse move so much more freely with their shoulders in this saddle versus the others I have tried. My Oldenburg’s movement improves greatly when I ride him in this saddle. The only complaint I have is that the leather is a little too soft, but that is perhaps more of a personal preference thing. If you are considering getting a D1, you might also consider the Equipe Emporio - that is the saddle that Charlotte Dujardin rode to Gold in at the Olympics - it is similar to the Prestige saddles. 
I have one. I wasn’t looking to buy a new saddle, but my friend got one and I tried it on my 18 year old horse and his movement was so big and swinging I couldn’t sit…I have since learn to ride in it and I love it…
I rode a client’s horse in a one for quite awhile and tried to find a used one for my own short backed guy. I ended up with a Prestige Optimax as a second option because NO ONE was selling their D1s used, which is probably a good sign? Anyway, I like them a lot = )
I had/have a Prestige D1K, and I LOVED the saddle. So comfortable, so nice to sit even the bigger movements. That seat! I have it in D leather, so the leather is also better.
I actually got an Equipe Emporio as the replacement. Also an excellent saddle, suuuuch a deep seat, though, omg.
Must be the market around here, but I have had real trouble selling my D1.
For those of you who ride in the D1 Zero. How is the seat sizing? Does it run small or large? Also, what tree size do you have? I have heard they run wide. Thanks! I juzt rode in one and loved it!
I would say for me seat size runs about average. I ride in a 17-17.5" and am happy in my 17". My pony is a Medium-wide in most saddles and she is in the 34cm. It’s a touch too wide at first glance but once tacked up it fits beautifully. Here is a video about fitting them…https://vimeo.com/22360591
