SMP need to be set further forward and do not rely on sitbones, so comparing sitbones isn’t useful.
Also SMP isn’t immediately comfortable, there’s no obvious cushioning like normal saddle against sitbones, it feel like there’s nothing there being supported, if you tried to ride sitting on the sitbones area, it is not comfortable.
Your bone between your two orifice is where it should sit.

The Composit that I had was well out of my size range going by the above chart, I don't think it was ever going to be comfortable for me no matter how I positioned myself on it.
But it's good to know this detail about not relying on the sit bones, I hadn't heard this before.
I'm keeping my eye out for the PRO model, so I'll bear this in mind.

Haha thats a great chart, love that they go by 'pant size'.
I was out a ride earlier with a 155 power saddle on the bike, I put the Composit back on when I got home and went a short 20 minute spin to try get a side by side comparison. I think I can tell that the Composit isn't going to be useable no matter how it's adjusted.
Mine isn't the carbon rail model but I think I'll be moving it on if anyone wants it.
The Pro, Avant or Plus sound like they will be a better match for my curves. On the off chance anyone has one of those and fancies a swap, let me know.
