As a regular bike flipper, I've come across every seat possible to be able to actually use them on actual rides.
Fancy seats are removed to hoard in my collection.
A cyclist can only assess so much from sampling in a LBS, yet ultimately needs to purchase the seat to try on the field.
The truth is that one must obtain and install the seat and try it.
That usually means purchasing it, and if unsatisfactory, it's their problem to deal with returning it or reselling it.
