Yup, that the Chinese copy, they're only made in Italy, and nowhere else.
Mine is the SMP Composit (left, Forma is right), work very well so far, quite like to try the Forma as I don't think I need to have a cut out right at the back;
My main concern is that the Forma is too wide, and the nose a little too narrow despite a wider centre cut out.
Funny thing about SMP saddle is that sitbones width are the least of your concern, I'm almost over the 155mm length according to the Specialized Body Geometry chart, yet I find the very narrow Composit fit nicely.

Agreed, it seems more on the shape of your hips from rear (sitbones width) to front. Some people's hips are narrow on both ends, some wide on both ends, some hips taper more.
I seem to have wide a rear, reasonably narrow at front and this is why Pro works for me, but for some people the front is wrong and if it's too wide you end up with tissue in the cutout, rather than bones being supported.
