I am looking for a saddle similar to my Bontrager Commuter Fluid

This, “slightly more comfortable fitness/commuter” saddle is not a deep part of the saddle market. Much more aggressive than a true “comfort saddle”, but not even close enough to actually aggressive for anyone competitively inclined.
I am perfectly happy with the Bontrager. But one has many bikes, and I wanted to try something else in case something else was better. Most of the quality aftermarket brands don’t seem to make anything like it, likely I assume due to lack of demand.
As it is, I am struggling to find anything even similar. Help? Suggestions?
