A few things:

1) If you're aware that your writing is confusing, then why don't you try to clear it up a bit (like, say, using capitalization at the beginning of sentences and such) so that it's not so confusing?

2) If you're considering a Cobalt Flux, post in the Cobalt Flux thread.

DO NOT POST A 'WHICH PAD SHOULD I GET?' [...] THREAD." I imagine that applies to whether or not you should get a new soft pad. Personally, I'd say no, since all soft pads will die quickly.

Going back to point 1, you could have written your post like the following:
