The Selle Italia saddle that came with my existing bike is really giving me the .... well you can imagine!

So I am looking to upgrade/swap. In an ideal world I would love to go with a Fizik Arione - but it is not an ideal world and I am looking at the Selle Bassano Mission:

Looks the business, but how does it feel is what I am wondering. Cannot seem to find much of anything about them on the net so I am wondering if anybody out there is riding one and has a view.

I have been trying to find someone who has tried the Mission Air saddle also. Real thin US distribution.

Curious as to why you can't get an Arione... price? width? You can get them around $110, which seems to be the going rate for the above mentioned saddle... and they "appear" to be relatively close in width (arione is narrow, and the one above looks it too)
