And +1 on long rides being important... Fizik Arione is an example: it was a good saddle for me for one hour or so but then it goes away. I think I can ride anthing for 20 miles... but then we find out what is what. If you get the chance, post pics of your finalists.
Just to show the total individual nature of saddles, I tried a WTB saddle once (from Performance mail order), and it was a total a$$ hatchet. So I sent it back for a refund.
