New gravel saddles for Clydesdale riders?

Selle Italia has abandoned it’s 2 series—S2,L2—performance saddles for the Fizik chameleon types. I would think in addition to people like me whose spines flex some, if you need their L1-S1/Fizik Bull in a drop bar road position, then on higher stack gravel hoods, you probably need a 2.

Do you know of anything for 150mm sit bones in a flat T shape aside from Ergon and WTB Rocket? Selle Anatomica Titannico X just had me sliding to the narrower middle until I over tightened it, which was worse. I assume the same thing would happen on most saddles that rely on stretched leather rather than a padded shell.

I've ridden Sell Italia, WTB, Brooks, Fizik, Specialized, and Koobi. What I've learned is that gel saddles will break down, especially with your increased weight and will not support you correctly for very long.  The more firm the padding, the more comfortable, long term the saddle will be. Ti and carbon rails are not recommended for larger riders.  Also, no one considers the lifespan of the saddle. It's not as simple as "set it and forget it".  That said, I have a 15 year Koobi PRS Alpha that is still quite comfortable.

The firm nature of the Brooks saddles make them a great alternative choice.  I loved them (still do), until I discovered Koobi.

The PRS Alpha saddle is what I'm running on my gravel and on my road bike. It's very firm and takes about 30 hours of riding to break in, but once broken in, all I can say is wow!  8+ hour rides are no problem, even on the most rugged terrain.
