    Kathy, I think that when looking for a good stool, price should not
    be the top concern.  Like you said your current stool the foot rest
    does not adjust. But on a higher price model they do.  Just like
    those saddles, yes they are expensive but they are probably sturdy. 
    When shopping for a stool think of it as the home for your body for
    a third of the day. Just like buying a mattress, where you spend the
    another third of the day. You get the best that you can afford so
    that your body is comfortable and you probably spend $2000 for good
    mattress set. As far as the saddles, I have set on them, and being a
    guy there is too much pressure at some other areas and they make
    your pants bunch up every time you get up and down.  (quote from
    their add "Wider, firmer, and with less pommel and cantel than the
    more contoured Bambach Saddle Seat. Those that are bothered by a
    pommel in close contact with their private parts (especially men and
    those with very thick thighs), might prefer this saddle contour." ) 

 I like having a seat back so when I need to think for a minute, I can put my feet up on the anvil lean back and relax.
As for the feet dangling and more support for the feet, put a shelve or foot rest on your bench to rest your feet and mount your flexshaft foot control on that.
