I didn't try the Toupe, but just by visual inspectuion, the Williams LQQKS more padded than the S-Works Toupe Pro I looked at. That seat was $300 (on sale for $225) and only 135g. The Williams Aurora SLC+ came in at 151.8g (actual). I still feel I made the right decision to go with the WIlliams. I did a 50 mile ride today with 3450 feet of climbing and an overall pace of 16mph. My butt never complained once, and still feels fine
