The price is irrelevant. I was once trying to build a flyweight bike, and got a $250 Serfas titanium shell saddle. The CIA could have put it on a trainer and used it to torture terrorists. A wide saddle is not always more comfortable than a narrow saddle. It would seem that a wide saddle would distribute weight better, but they often cause chafing, or other problems. The only way to find the perfect saddle is to ride for long time, and use different saddles along the way. The only saddle I have used which is consistently comfortable is the standard Brooks B17, I have a B17s on all of my bikes now.
