Roadie saddle Q - 'thin' like a Flite/Antares but 'wavy' like a Power Arc

Definitely moon on a stick territory here, I really got on with the T shape of a Flite and Antares, supports seatbones but doesn't get in the way of hamstrings.

However I also like the wavy shape of a Power Arc, I think it holds my pelvis more stable and takes load of my low back, but the wings taper to the nose too gradually which sort of forces me to slide forward and not supporting the sitbones properly.

Is there a saddle which combines the T shape with the wave shape?

I have half an eye on the Ergon range but think I need to see one in the flesh. Bontrager Aeolus might have been ideal but nose is significantly wider than most, I have one on the gravel bike and it still feels a bit wide at the nose...

Massively "wavy", pretty thin, enormously expensive ? SMP Drakon or similar

Yeah... I did demo one but it didn't seem to do anything that the Power didn't. Also not sure it's any thinner between/behind the hammies, kind of feel it would present the same issue.

Another one to see in the flesh maybe

@13thfloormonk I have a quite worn 209 lite, which is a bit more padded but same shape version of a drakon. If you pm me yr address you can try it for as long as you want (I buy when they come up "cheap" and got a new drakon not long ago, so the 209 is spare)
