Fizik is over priced and uncomfortable- for me at least. I put over a thousand miles on the Arione and felt like I was being fisted on every one of them. Then tried the Aliante with the same results. The Specialized Romin is a good and relatively cheap saddle, looks nice as well. I have ridden one of those for several thousand miles now but had to stop due to pain from scar tissue beneath my right sit bone (had a right hip replacement 2.5 years ago). So I thought , which one next. I went back to the old standby, Brooks professional. First mile out on a new rock hard Brooks and the pain was gone, kaput, vanished. A bloody miracle.
A very personal choice-good luck.
