Saddle firmer than WTB SST

Currently riding a WTB SST, that came stock on the bike. Like the shape, but wish it were a bit firmer. I was thinking of getting a Pure V race. Anyone know of a WTB saddle with the same basic shape as the SST but less padding? I suppose I can always tear out the foam and recover the saddle, if it came down to it.

I don't mind the Pure V Race. I actually did the same conversion thanks to a friend who bought me one as a gift. It is a more comfortable saddle for my buns but it isn't quite what I want. I would choose it over the SST any day for sure but am looking to further upgrade.

If you want less padded you might try one of the Pro Saddles from Shimano. I have one on my fixed gear and I love it. You can input info and they will help you find a saddle that would work best for you:

Fizik Race saddles are pretty firm .. I use the wider Vitesse, a 'Unisex'.
