Yes had the Galibiers from new, they were comfortable enough when new, but they got better as they bedded in, needed a couple of small tension tweaks as they did, but been stable now for a fair while.
Only reason I got the Galibiers is pure unadulterated tartyness, although I did have a Soulor for a while too. They probably flex a tiny bit more than the Soulor but I wouldn't bet on being able to tell in a blind test!
EDIT - I just checked my receipts and the last Galbier I bought, which is the one on the Mercian I purchased in 2018 and it was £142 posted so less than what the Soulor seems to be now!
