Alot of people say this, but looking at what pros use will reveal some truths, like the fact that nobody uses ultralite carbon saddles for a day of racing.
Also, some people who have chronic saddle trouble need to learn better riding technique, at high cadence in the drops, you shouldn't be sitting on the saddle at all, just straddling it. Problems occur when people sit on a saddle and don't shift position by riding the drops or lifting off the saddle out of corners. Watch the pros, they are constantly off the saddle and shifting position.
oh, and price does not dictate a good saddle, and most are wayyy overpriced for plastic, 8 square inches of leather and two small tubes of ti.
