That is a good deal for a very good DP seat. Jump on it.

It just depends on your riding style: if you move a lot on the saddle and don't stay too much in the upright position you can take the racing one (it is very hard in the middle so it can be a problem on long runs: let say that after 30minutes you will feel it).
I have a racing riding style but I took the gel saddle which is very confortable even after 2 hours and personally I like the look it has. Price in Europe is around is 190euro (that's about 270USD).

We talkin Aussie $$$ or Americian $$$...
Get it Custom done for your own Anatomy and ridin style ,,,save some time in the long run ,Not too complicated to do if you get the right upholstery shop with the proper density of foam, or even take a crack at it yourself...
In the heat of summer it was said you need 1/2 hour to pull the gel seat out of your butt!!
It's like blondes or redheads,,up to you..
I like the look of the DP preformance seat...

Go gel ... a little warm if left in direct sunlight, otherwise comfy.
