I've also found over the past 25 years that I need a certain amount of padding in the saddle. Not much, just a very certain amount. Less than that and my butt never breaks in, more than that isn't comfortable either. I once took a Romin on a trial ride - a century - and the Romin padding was just fine, but the join between the top and sides was too sharp for my physiology. I need a smoother transition.
