Hiking mommas-help with a hiking baby carrier

So this post is for those who actually USE these. Please don't just tell me the reviews. These products tend to have a lot of paid reviews in return for a free product so can't really trust the reviews. We hike a lot and our toddler hit that 20 lb mark so time to upgrade to a more comfortable carrier for mom. We are looking at the Thule Sapling Elite or Dueter Kid Comfort Pro. Anyone who has used these have any insight of them. No store in our state carries them instore so just buying a $300+ item without trying it out is stressful haha. Any help would be appreciated...and no we are not looking at other brands. We have reasons why we are only looking at these ones.
