XC saddle for taller riders

Hi everyone,
I need to buy a new saddle and I'm torn between a Fizik gobi XM and a Specialized Henge Expert (I'm seeing good discounts on both of them). I am however concerned if the gobi XM will be comfortable for me since I'm 1.98m tall and weigh 110kg. Had my sitbones measured at 146mm and I'm a chameleon according to the spine concept test.
Has anyone with similar measurements tried the gobi xm saddle?
Thanks,
Paulius

All those measurements mean very, very little. The only way is to test them out. You could find someone with exactly the same measurements and on person will love it, one will hate it.0

Height (and indeed weight) are pretty irrelevant in saddle choice anyway!
It's personal. Spesh put a lot of design into their saddles, and offer test saddles. I find the Phenom SL comfy.0
