Rido R2 vs Sella SMP TRK?

Did 43 miles today, and the little general is a little bit numb. Not as bad as the last couple of weeks as I've been concentrating on keeping on my sit bones rather than sliding forward, but I'm now thinking my Sella Italia Shiver needs changing.
So in my price range are the Rido R2 and Sella SMP TRK. Anyone have experience of both? Despite being desperately ugly I'm leaning toward the R2 based on the reviews I've read.
My sit bones are 120mm, self measured. Can't seem to find the exact width of the two saddles.
I realise everyone's backsides are different, just looking some general advice.

See if you can find somewhere to try the saddles. I had a Rido and it was the most uncomfortable riding saddle I have EVER experienced. I gave it to a mate and it sorted out his numb nuts in minutes.http://www.georgesfoundation.org

Yeah definitely seems to be a love/hate saddle. I've ordered the lighter version of the R2, the RLT. Not available locally so had to order it online. Cheers.0
