How many different versions of each of the Fiziks are there? Same with Selle Italia.
Selle Italias tend to be fairly flat saddles with shallow tumblehome (i.e. the transition from the top to the sides is gradual), so I'd look at other saddles with those characteristics. For example, from Fizik, Arione rather than Aliante. WTB Silverado and SL8 might be good picks, as maybe would San Marco Aspide Supercomfort Dynamic if you want a cutout. Fabric's Line range seem suited and are well-reviewed.

Lots of options, anyway!
