I doubt brooks can do much better on this. Noseless saddles like the one at the top reaches 100% pressure relieve.
I have no idea how they determined those numbers, but I am pretty certain they're mostly BS. Harder saddles put more pressure on the perineum? I doubt it. Softer saddles less? Not likely. They are selling you a product. This is advertising.
Incidentally, none of those saddles are "pretty close to brooks saddles." Not a single one is a hard suspended leather or rubber saddle. They all have a shell and padding, every single one. Totally, utterly different.
