Well, Ive got the Maverick and I'm happy enough with it so far though it's only been nearly 8 weeks. Actually, I feel more confident with the design and the keel, I can't imagine it ever subsiding! I would have been happy with any disc I think, the decision on which (charite or maverick) I was getting wasn't decided till I was in theatre and my spine had been assessed.
With my whole back being in a pretty crook state, my surgeon has already said there shouldn't be an issue if I need further surgery, he'll just go in on the opposite side (right) next time.
Hmmm, now that's a sobering thought (not!)
