    None of those. go to mcmwinn.com and look at the range of saddles they offer under the name Selle Anatomica. They do cut out versions and different colours and the tensioner is an allen bolt not a spanner job. Someone i know who gets free Specialized stuff said when he rode it one it was the possibly the most comfortable saddle he had tried (it was on my partners bike)

    Those are american saddles and you would have to pay import duties on them....

    I have two leather saddles from brooks and they are super.

    I have a B17N which I purchased this year and I am really pleased. I took 500 miles odd for it and my backside to become friends but it is now sooooooo comfy.

    I find my Audax bike far more comfortable on long rides

    I ride Brooks Professionals on all my bikes. I found the B17 too soggy! I did a 2 week tour on one (Pro) that was brand new so they do seem to suit me!
