I’m in the same size category. I can live with the Selle Italia Novus in L2 size. It is bearable, can ride 2 hrs before the aches set in. But the Selle Anatomical H2 is a game changer for me. I can ride for 4 hours before I start to get uncomfortable. The SA takes a good bit of tinkering to get to where they are comfy but for me, it really changed cycling for the better.
