Appreciate the insight Gauvins. I actually feel the back part of the saddle is relatively comfortable and getting softer. That part doesn't really bother me though. I can ride it around commuting without padded shorts and it isn't super comfortable, but tolerable. The front part is where I feel it bothering me and I am assuming with how rigid the leather on the nose is that it will probably never soften much.

Given my upright position with the trekking bars, what are your opinions on going wider? I was under the impression that the more upright you are, the more width you should aim for (as the Selle and SQLab are significantly more narrow than the Flyer).

As far as padded shorts, do any companies make them with just butt padding and not the front "crotch" padding part? Like I said, I went 40-50mi in them, but man it was just not a super fun experience between the nose of the Flyer and the chamois pad.
