Hey are there any Terry Zero owners out there that can answer some questions?

I'm looking for a new saddle. My current saddle a Selle Italia , the model escapes me, is wider but is worn strangely and is giving up the ghost.

I think I need a Flatter saddle not wider. I see that Performace has the zero for $50. I see that is long and 5.5" wide but is the shape of the top more flat?

My current saddle measures almost 6.5" edge to edge but slopes down on the edges. The side of saddle, and my shorts, are well worn. I also have an old Avocet Touring I on an old Lotus that is only 5.5" wide but is flatter and has those funky raised bumbs.

I'm not sure I want a cutout at 6' and 210ibs saddle flex could be a problem.

There is always that "British leather saddle"

Thanks

I ride the Terry Zero. I believe it is flatter on top than the Selle Italia. I find it to be a little firmer than most of the saddle options out there.
