My favorite, most comfy sprung saddle is the Flyer Special. They're a bit more $, but I think they're worth it. The Flyer is almost as comfortable and less $. And I really love my Conquest, which got super comfy after a longer break-in, although (to me) it's not quite as comfy as the Flyer Special.
That said, good luck finding a new Conquest these days... they're discontinued, so they can be rare and quite pricey.
