Sorry for the bump but due to having the Distinction pads I thought it would be best to add my view.
They are very comfortable pads and feel very nice. The stitching started to break on mine so I sent mine back to the shop owner who I got them from to see if he can get any response from M+H, however he sold quite a few of these pads and I am the only person who has had any complaints with them, so I think it was a short term issue with the thread rather than poor quality.
Overall I love my pads, I just hope I can get them back and fixed really soon to be able to use them again.
