Here what I found;
SMP Composit- benchmark and a good shape to get into, may required padded short for some people, it have no padding whatsoever, but it's a lots more flexible than the carbon, I can ride it without padded short but only after getting used to it.
SMP Evolution - exactly the same as Composit but slightly padded like normal road saddle (only on the middle) and can easily be ridden without pads.
SMP Extra - easy and cheap to get into but very ugly, even if you haven't quite set it up, it's surprisingly forgiven if the angle is a little off, make a great beater saddle but be warned the rail is a little shorter near the nose, not a problem unless your frame have a very steep seat tube angle.
SMP Hell - I and my girlfriend simply couldn't get used to it (she declare her love for the SMP Evolution, and finally Boyce hoe she no longer think about saddle anymore) despite @miro_o liking it, it just felt wrong, like a mismatch of all of the above.
