Hey Andrew. Like you I really enjoy the WTB saddles like the Deva and Silverado. I bought a Koda, and didn't like it at first, but think I might have to try it again soon. My main complaint about the WTB saddles of late is the very short rails. The rails on this Versa look great!
I finally (after many many years and many many saddles) have figured out that my saddle setback should be very different on my road and mountain bikes. Steeper STA's have now made the WTB saddle fit much better, since I no longer feel the need to slam the saddles all the way back. However, on my road bike since I have a longer torso, I need more setback. I think this Versa is going to be bought for my road bike because of the rails. I'm also happier on narrower saddle on the road, and like wider saddles on the dirt.
Thanks for all your saddle reviews. I feel like they are often just for me. ;-)
