OK, HiYo -

First, THANKS for posting your impressions - don't hesitate to post a follow-up as well. I appreciate you taking the time to post and find your information VERY helpful!

Second, your impressions would be more helpful if you also posted your weight. Different saddles (and PARTICULARLY the Brooks line and the Fizik Arionne) are intended to "break in" to the rider's unique sit-bone configuration. What "breaks in" for some "breaks down" for others who are heavier. Your weight is a very significant factor in your perception of the saddles.

Third, a brief background would be helpful - what bike? (obviously a road bike since you mention drops), and what saddles have you past experience with and how do those match up to the three you review here?

Thanks again for the information. Please keep us all posted as you gain more experience with the Fizik!
