Lightweight, flexible, absorbs shock, cool-looking, ergonomically ideal, nice fit
Cons:
Thin, pricey!, limited padding
I just got the Toupe, and have been pretty happy with it. Around a 5 hr. ride, and no numbness to speak of. I can honestly say that it wasn't cushy for 5 hours, but it was better than other saddles that I have had that are more padded, and/or gel saddles. The fit is really nice, and the 130mm is perfect for my sit bones. It's not great if you really want to get out on the nose, but there are a couple of nice comfy areas. It's good if you like to sit somewhere between the tail and the nose.
