I switched to a Fizik Antares - much much happier. That said, everyone is different - I just prefer a flatter saddle where I can actually sit on my sit bones on the wider, rearward portion of the saddle, especially when climbing.
+1 this was almost exactly my same experience with these two saddles...I tried the Romin after using the Toupe for a bit. Antares 00 was great for a long time, but I just switched to a Prologo Scratch Nack and it is near perfect for me so far (500 miles only)
