Nick, I'm not entirely certain of the answer to your question; I think they might have been in transition mode. At the time I ordered my saddle they were offering three widths and three different slot configurations and the Robusto is about 1.5 cm narrower than the Titanico that they now seem to have as the only offering. The only complaint I have with the two saddles I own from them is the absence of bag loops. It pushed me to move to the carradice SQR, which has worked out quite well for commuting.
