Get the Composit, seriously.
If your downstairs neighbour is complaining, you'll still notice that with the Cambium, it's a great comfortable saddle, but still too much pressure (and it's quite spongy).
The Composit is flexy in the middle, whether the carbon have zero flex whatsoever, if you do get on well with the carbon, then your neighbour will most definitely enjoyed their new resident of the Composit.
BTW is your the real or fake carbon? if former, gimmie.

Nah, fake. I'm not nearly wealthy enough for a proper carbon SMP.
The thing with the Regale is it's not awful, I've done a century on it (not like the Arione that left me numb after 70 miles), it's just not quite right. Bit too soft and padded, I think. Nowhere near me that trials SMPs unfortunately, so it would be a case of waiting for one to come up at the right price. OTOH, I can afford a cambium. Hum.
The other thing is, is this all going to change as I lose weight anyway?

Okay, I have to accept that my Regale is doing me no favours in the downstairs department, which is a shame, because it works fairly nicely for my sitbones.
My ali-special carbon SMP is the right shape, but too hard for longer rides. Thinking of trialling a Cambium - can anyone (@edscoble ?) who's ridden both give me an inkling of how they compare to something like a Composit? Cutout vs none, C17 vs C15, etc.
