I find there are some saddle shapes I just cannot get used to. I've tried the Nashbar FR2 saddles, and I've rode long rides on them. But as i get older, I had to change them out. I don't have a ton of money to spend on expensive higher end saddles, but I found a shape that seems to work good for me. One is the Charge Spoon leather saddle from Amazon. But this requires me to have this nearly flat on my seat post. No tilt forward or backwards.
I've also noticed other saddles from fellow randonnuers. They all seem to have their saddles mounted with no tilt forward or back. perfectly horizontal. That might be your key to better comfort.
