Honestly all these saddles are pretty similar in design/function (all are close contact/all purpose). There’s not much any of us on Answers can do to help because what it comes down to is how the saddle fits you. A lot of saddles (especially English ones) have little nuances that can affect the fit, and thus comfort of the rider.
Also consider what color/body type your horse has. Certain saddle colors look better on certain coat colors than others. Your horse’s body type could affect saddle fit (back length, whither height, etc.).
I would recommend talking to you instructor, or another knowledgeable English rider for advice. They should be able to point you in the right direction, and possibly get you a cheaper used saddle; they are just as good as a new one, but the breaking in part has been done for you!
