Just based on the side profile of the Mirror compared to regular Power, I'd say they probably end up being somewhere a little different - but hopefully that gets you close-ish.
This is good info on the Power saddle. I have one now. I'm getting along fine with it. Doesn't feel as "comfy" as the Power Arc as those are not as flat as the Power. I seem to settle into the Power Arc and sit more atop the Power. Maybe that's how it's supposed to be.

I've been curios about these Mirror saddles too. Eye-wateringly expensive but supposedly the most comfy thing ever.

The idea behind the mirror is that Specialized will be able to take some measurements of your butt and then can make a saddle just for you.

I love the s-works power arc but I think this saddle is a bit better.

Thanks Yinzerniner & Imaking20, greatly appreciated. I tried a few more adjustments but I am not suited to this saddle (it may be too race oriented for me) so returned under 30 day satisfaction guarantee.
