Seconding the rec of the Fabric saddle if you're looking for something with a similar ride and easy on the bank account. That said, even though my body works well with an Aliante, a very different saddle has been doing it for me lately: the Selle Flite (90s type model).

Actually just checked and the Aliante is 145mm while the Flite is 146mm, so pretty close actually. Just another option if that aesthetic works for your bike.

Over the past two seasons or so I've tried an aliante, arione, old skool flite, and modern slr. And I've ended up back on a fabric scoop that Ive used for a few years before that. Can't really beat the value with Ti rails for the price. Just make sure to epoxy between the rails and the saddle base so it doesn't creak.

100% Fabric is the best value proposition for road saddles.
