I'm also kinda skeptical about the price tbh. Obviously there is a degree of economies of scale, but if for example Specialized can make a carbon railed pro for £100-£150 rrp I find it hard to work out what your £200 for a SMP Composite goes towards.
Specialized actually provide various shapes/styles of saddles, at numerous price points (and with research into ergonomics), as opposed to SMPs variation on a theme.
Makes me think of Campagnolo's we'll charge what we want because we're Italian and people love that shit pricing
