Ok Dennis, your incessant hammering in multiple threads of any saddle but Mayer's being inferior has elicited this response. I wrote to Corbin and pointedly asked whether their saddles were 'off the shelf' or as you put it 'cookie cutter'. Here is the unadulerated response (I added emphasis and did not correct any spelling):

Hi Phil,
WE do keep some in stock for the average guy that doesn't need any mods done to the saddle.We try to service the peolpe with fast delievery on ones that that need them quick.If it's in a different material besides black we would have to make it.We only stock black seats.On the case on a seat that have been returned.We don't have any due to we don't take returns.Once the seat leaves here only thing we do is rework the seats if they needed it.So to make sure the seat goes out right for the customer.We always ask for the height and inseam to make sure that the seat will have in stock would work for them or not.So in a nut shell true he might have gotten seats that were off the shelf,but that kept him from waiting at least 3-4 weeks before recieving a saddle that he need in a hurry.
If you have any other questions feel free to email me.
Thanks in advance,

Sounds to me that if you order one off the shelf, you get one off the shelf. If you change anything, they build it. Anyone read this differently?
As to not being able to tell the difference in Corbin seats, I would suggest you check out the dozen or so seats you will see in GA and tell me then that they are all cookie cutter....
