hi weldon,
i'm sorry to hear about the cancer, but glad to know you are doing  well.
 
i've been a lak, rbk for 25 yrs.
i used to wear a mauch SNS knee.  i never had a problem with it, and  it 
NEVER  "dropped" me.
before i tried the mauch, i used to fall alot.
i decided to try the c-leg 5 yrs ago.
all in all, the c-leg is a good leg.  IT has NEVER dropped me.
i have no complaints about the c-leg, other then the cost, and the fact  that 
you have to plug it in everynight.
and the only thing i can do on the c-leg that i couldn't on my mauch is  walk 
forward down a ramp.
i don't know if it's  "all that" like they clam it to be, but that  would be 
because i'm not  all that active.
i walk.  i don't run, ride bikes, go hiking.....
 
do i think it's better than the mauch,  not really,, but then i don't  have 
the opportunity to go back to the mauch,  if i could, i might decide  it is.
 
my prosthetist would like me to try the plie  knee, i believe it  is by 
freedom.  the cost is less then the c-leg, but it has  to be charged, however, i 
believe it has 2 batteries. 
 
i use a total suction socket. no liners, no extras, so i can't speak to  your 
socket issues.
 
good luck in your quest.
 

:)

In advance, THANK YOU VERY MUCH,

Weldon  Wallick
