Bontrager Verse vs Arvada
Im trying to understand the difference. Both are classified as endurance for "position 3". I contacted Trek and they say both saddles are "different" and the new verse is not a replacement for the arvada but they can't give a solid answer. The verse is available up to 165 width and seems they replaced some women saddles with it too. Kind of a more "universal" saddle. But still don't see a difference.
I have an arvada now and after a long time of looking for the perfect saddle for me, is great but not perfect, so I was wondering if maybe the Arvada can give me that extra bit of comfort I was looking for.
Thoughts?

The Verse has a full cutout and has slight different sizes compared to the Arvada. Otherwise length is the same and the covering is different between the 2. I recently moved to the Verse from a Specialized Romin in 143 for 10 years and I like it, but just not super comfortable over 45 miles. I have not had that issue on the Verse in the 135 that I moved to.
