I agree. But with me it is that the gel bands don't "breathe". In Summer here it gets to 45 degrees C. Perspiration is a bit of a problem...
That said, after wearing various Panerai for years, I guess I am also just used to the weight of a metal bracelet. Option B was the go from forumers when Berg showed us some bracelet types - here is a link in case you missed it.

At $295 plus shipping for the watch, and another ?? for the bracelet - it is still IMHO a pretty good deal.
And the single butterfly clasp with the lock in flip and the twin button release is good looking, probably going to be easy to scuff (as time will tell for me and my fellow desk-divers!) but it feels substantial enough to do its job. Apparently the SS bracelet is 5mm thick - that can only be a good thing. But I would like to see screw pins, not spring pins, in the SS band that I buy.
Just my 2c.
Cheers, and I think your wait will be worth it for the green one - IanM
