I love my Manduca, and I didn't try before buying either, however do try your local babyonthemove store if you want to, they stock them and are happy to give trials.
We got one for the next baby but decided to get it sooner and use it with our now 1 yr old, its wonderful. Did the walk in a duathlon with her, she even fell asleep halfway round! And I find back carry easy with the bump as the waist strap fits under the bump.

Kiara is 3 and Teagan is 2, now we're expecting our long awaited 3rd!

I will keep persevering, and if all else fails, I will use it on bubba #2 right from the first week. I think that perhaps I just need some lessons in how to wear it- Mealz...

No, not fussy. Just as long as it is in good condition.

Im a bit late to the party, but Im another Manduca convert!!
I love mine, the pram doesnt get used, at all! Ive bought the latest LE (I am in LOVE!) and I have a chocolate one too. FIgure the 2nd one will come in handy when number 2 arrives
I did try one before I bought mine, but I would have bought it with out buying it, and I hated giving hte one I hired back! I had to survive 2 weeks till mine arrived!

Bit late here too, but just saw your comment on the reflux baby lostamber. Baby wearing was a lifesaver for my severe refluxer (yes, it got a bit gross with DD chucking right down my cleavage, but you got pretty good at wiping it up!) and it kept her sooo much happier than anything else I could do. As long as she was nicely upright, she'd grizzle rather than scream, which was huge for us! And she'd often sleep on me too.
I started with a wrap at 4 weeks (the day that arrived in the post was the best day EVER!), and then switched to the manduca at about 6 months with no problems.
So it might be worth getting someone in the know to have a look at how you are wearing it, as most reflux babies get huge relief from being upright and rocked.
I'm not trying to hassle, but honestly, baby wearing saved my sanity with my little refluxer, so if it's an easy fix to get the same for you I thought I'd try at least

Hay - search Manduca New Zealand on FB, if you're happy to have the Plum LE Manduca there is 2 available for $195 right now :) From The Natural Baby I think.
I just bought one this week from Ecomoon (they also do layby's I believe) with 20% off (sorry that special has finished now) Was a total bargain at $184 for the new olive colour. I didn't try before buying but knew I wanted to continue wearing my baby but we both found the Moby a bit of a mission. I was easily sold on it! Held off buying one for about a week then this sale came up so I couldn't pass the discount up! It's my Mum's day pressie to me. Joseph is super comfy in it as am I. Totally worth it

Just came across this thread.
I am torn between getting a Manduca and a Moby wrap for when bubs arrives.
For those keen to buy the Manduca though Baby Vintage have them on sale for $200 for 1 week. http://www.babyvintage.co.nz/?page_id=15&category=89

I bought a Manduca after my son was born because he constantly needed to be held and the Manduca had the built-in newborn seat as opposed to some of the other carriers that require you to buy an extra insert for newborns, but he never seemed comfortable in there so we didn't get to use it much... I really wanted it to work because it felt quite comfortable but even though my son needed to be held he never liked to cuddle so probably no carrier would have worked for him. Anyway I'd completely forgotten all our Manduca until I saw this thread, my son is old enough now to be carried on my back so I'll have to give it another go with him otherwise I'll be trying it out again once his new sibling arrives.
