Ah, Trek,
I am awfully loyal to Brooks, and I'm not sure the Selle Anatomica.. oh, you said Sella Italia. Uh, NOPE, sorry Trek, not going there. there's NO WAY
I am going to ride one of THOSE things.
All I can say is once you ride my Raleigh Cross, you're going to have a new opinion about saddles. The saddle on my Raleigh has a nickname. IT's called the spoiler.. you're never going to feel the same about saddles after you sit on that one.

yes, only smaller
does he like it?
My commuter has a Planet Bike seat right now because the LBS sold outa the Sella last time I was in, acceptable for the commute but not for the longer rides I want to do on it.Fancy Schmancy Custom Road bike ~ Mondonico Futura Legero

He loves it because it feels like the brooks but is WATERPROOF.
and since he likes to be in the saddlle for HOURS (like 24 hours) he has already ruined 1 brooks.

The pear-shape of the Anatomica would kill me, and so would the cut-out. Funny how once you find the perfect saddle, nothing else will do!

It's so cute how your DH's sitbone dimples show up in that saddle, Mimi! It is obviously a very nice fit on him!
