How do I choose a new saddle?

I have decided that I need an endurance style saddle, but there are a lot to choose from. Selle alone has so many saddles it is confusing.
Am I correct that the more expensive saddles are simply lighter or are they that much better? Selle has a saddle for about $180.00. Is it better than one of their $75.00 saddles?
I checked with 2 local shops. One only sells Bontrager and the other only had a Selle Respiro. The Respiro seems to have way too much padding. There is another shop that has a few saddles, and I think they have a return policy.
I am thinking about buying a Selle Italia S5 Superflow from Amazon. I am uncomfortable buying online without veing able to try it.

Suggestions?
