Pete, just compared MRIs again in my intro thread in noobies. Our sacral slopes look pitched the same. I may have to raise that issue again with Dr C just to see what he says.
Know what you mean about ActivL. I like it. I also like the M6. I like the ActivL much better than ProDisc due to forward translation, facet saver. I also like the alternate no keel variety. Just three small teeth in front. That's the one dr Z prefers too since it saves the vertebrae from damage. At least last time I talked with him. I agree.
