The fizik looks interesting. Not to sure on the fabric as my bulge from my penis is large (not bragging) under my body and needs a deep cut out otherwise I go numb and can’t pee without pain. I guess spinning 180rpm after 400k doesn’t help with this.
Maybe someone has a power in a draw they can lend for beer money. I only want to test as I’ll then buy an s-works model.

If you have too much pressure on your urethra short saddles might not be the answer you are looking for. IME it made matters worse, all pressure was on the nose and it was absolute agony after 50k, and for days afterwards. YMMV of course...

I have this exact same issue. Specialized power solved it for me.
I now have three on three different bikes; regularly ride all day without any pain at all and certainly not the perineal 'squashing' I experience with most saddles.
I also have one of the power copies on my turbo and it does give me some pain. It certainly won't give you a true impression of the genuine power. It looks similar but really isn't anything like it most ways...

I use a 143 Power and get on with it. You will struggle to find a cheap one though.
Presumably this means you're interested in short nose saddles. Have you also considered Fabric's new Line-S and Fizik's Tempo Argo? They're also shortened saddles with cut outs or relief channels
