Saddles are always going to be super personal, so a grain of salt - better for me is not necessarily better for you and vice versa...

The bigger cutouts are helpful if you still get perineum pressure and/or numbness even with a regular cutout/channel.

As far as the saddle length - do you sit on the tip of your current saddle? I often move forward for "on the rivet" stretches, but never slid all the way up to the actual tip on my previous saddles. If anything, the longer tip was an annoyance for me, more prone to catching my bibs during standing/sitting transitions than actually being useful. Also, in comparison to their longer counterparts, most of these snub-nosed saddles are actually a little wider and more usable/comfortable at that forward position.
