And here I thought I was the only one.
My inverted Bonade is almost 50 years old. I have some spare ones in both nickel and silver, but the late '60s classic Bonade (which needed only a slight adjustment) is still the one which I compare all others to.
I've also tried almost all of them, and the only ligature that I found which was close to a Bonade is the Peter Spriggs floating rail.
