Riding a Brooks saddle in the rain. How's it holding up long term?

I just read through the Crosscheck lovefest thread, and it seems most of you are commuting on Brooks saddles...

I'm a Brooks fan through and through. I have a Professional on my four road bikes and have had several other models in the past.

When I started all weather commuting last year I did a few rides in the rain on one of my Pro's and the color faded and the saddle was saturated. I then read some horror stories online about riding them wet causing them to prematurely sag and eventually tear. Since then I've been trying to find a saddle that is as comfortable as the Brooks (but not tensioned leather) for my commuter and I have come up empty handed...

How do your Brooks saddles hold up for the long haul after getting ridden wet?
