The issue with the Cambium, for me, is that it just doesn't feel as forgiving, it's as if instead of settling underneath you it just keeps pushing back. Others may feel very differently, of course - we all know how personal a choice saddles are.
Do you find that your seating on the edge of the frame of the swift. I really liked mine, but I thought it may have been to narrow. When I got fit, they told me I had narrow sit bones. Sometimes while riding the swift, I didn't feel it, but looking at the saddle after break in, you could see I was on part of the frame. By chance could you post a picture of yours. Thanks.
