I'm guessing it will be similar in firmness to my Jett, or maybe the Ruby. That's what I hope. I think I'd be much happier with my Jett if Specialized made a version with a dent or channel, rather than a narrower, sharper cut-out. At least this is my suspicion.

Oops, I was thinking the Vesta, not the Vitesse. What does the Vitesse look like? Does Fizik still make that?
Yes!!! Although, I'm wishing that perhaps the cut-out on my Ruby were a tad bit wider, with a less sharper edge. I'm not sure if the Affinity that I put on last weekend, is going to work long-term for me. My girly parts were feeling a tad bit smooshed during the 54-mile test ride I took on it last Monday. Not sure if that is just part of the adjusting period of a new saddle or not...or maybe I just wasn't positioning myself on the right part of the saddle to not feel that pressure. I had thought about the Arione Donna, after all the chatter here on it...but then I noticed that it's only 147mm wide and I'm pretty sure that would be too narrow for me. So now I'm back to thinking about the SI Turbomatic, which has a nice wide cut-out. Ughhh...I hate playing these saddle "games".
