as far as looks go i think the soma is pretty good. If ur only going to ride it for less than 10 miles at a time, i think itwill do just fine. I mean its not HORRIBLY uncomfortable, its just not what i would use for a 50 mile ride. And yeah, $130 on a saddle wouldnt be worth it if you are going to just commute a few miles. Honestly i'd say any of the saddles you listed would do just fine, i personally just chose the soma because it had a clean and simple classic look.
