If you're used to the Arione, but find you got too much pressure in the middle, the Versus might be the ticket, abet cost nearly as much as an SMP.
Scherrit can lend you the saddle to try out (with deposit) so you won't have to dive into the deep end, I can't remember what model he gave me but sufficient to said I didn't give it much try which is a shame.
Super C are great bags for the money, I usually use a combination of cotton bag and drybag, the drybag make it easier to grab the right stuff to pitch up, and keep thing organised.
Oh yeah, it now got 10 speed Dura Ace shifter with 105 derailleur and Tiagra cassette (12-28), need to change the cassette for an XT 11-32 as it digging into my alu freehub.
Steve Hogg has a very good piece on his blog about fitting them.
You're in the right path, level or negative and forwad...
Yes know he stocks them, very expensive though!
Bike looks mint!
Are you using the super c front bags? How are they?
