Tell me what I am missing in the differences in these two saddles...

Is it literally 4grams difference going from Alloy to Titanium for $30 more?
I am going to order two of them, so please offer me a hand here.

I had looked at these saddles at one point bc of positive reviews; they looked interesting. I *think* the ones with "Gel" in the name may have more padding, but I'm really not sure.

I agree that the model nomenclature is super confusing.

I just purchased the EVO Comp because 4 grams savings wasn't worth $30 to me. So far so good!

In addition to the 4 grams on the saddle, it will also make your wallet lighter, saving even MORE weight! How could you not buy it?!

Some riders prefer Ti rails.
Don't bother me.

Obviously CR-Mo hollow rails are pretty light and strong. In these saddles, not much reason to pay up for Ti.

This is the same thing with Fabric. Barely any gram diff between the ti and cromo. Their marketing thing is that TI is more comfortable. I don't buy it though and only reason I have the TI saddles is because I got them for almost the same as the chromos (or got it used for an even better deal)



Also, Spesh needs to stop painting saddle rails. What a dumb idea. Paint comes out within 5 minutes of clamping the saddle and looks like crap.
