The Independence is narrower than the pearl. They also come w/ or w/o the slot. I haven't ridden the no slot yet. The Bike Hermit has a no slot Selle Anatomica on his Desert Bike and it may be worth looking at. We stopped offering Selle Anatomica because they kept dropping their prices to below the wholesale prices they charged us. The nose seems extremely long though.
