Alternative to Selle SMP?

To me the MOST similar was the specialized ROMIN (not the EVO, i hate that).

Firm, wide nose, love it!

I feel I need to add this as well. You need to give it time also for the looks. First time I saw SMP I absolutely abhorred it. After reading up Steve Hogg, I decided to give it a try, and now I quite enjoy the looks amidst the whole package eg Italian, to be a real hard cyclist you need no padding, I still have my balls (not squashed) etc
