Can't comment on the Lookin line, but I did purchase their next model up the line, the
Selle Royal Respiro Gel Athletic Mens Black ICS and, after over five hundred miles on it, I couldn't be happier with it. Note that they have three different models in their line-up, the relaxed and moderate being on the wider side and adding elastomers -- along with some weight of course.
I find my athletic model provides just the right amount of padding and more than covers my riding needs; extremely comfortable saddle yet also lightweight, well made and sporty -- it must be said that I don't ride my bike for longer than two hours in any one outing thus I can't vouch for its comfort beyond said time frame. I also purchased a
medium saddle bag that clicks right into the saddle, and again, for
me, it has worked perfectly as well as being a great value, what with the combo coming in at roughly $70.00 bucks.

Lastly, as has been mentioned throughout this thread, the fact that I find this saddle amazing doesn't mean it won't be akin to a medieval torture instrument for others.
Not that I'd know or be interested in conducting a study, but it appears that no two butts are alike.
