Have to look past the reason why people think they are "uncomfortable": Start biking. The seat hurts. Buy new seat. This one feels "better". What really happened was YOUR BUTT got used to riding. Mine is fine.
Not necessarily. I road the Defy 1 OEM saddle for 10 days before going into my LBS and trying a test seat. Realize, on the 11th day I road into the LBS on the OEM seat after 15 miles and then put on another seat--the difference was very apparent testing for 10 miles and then an additional 8 going home. So, yes, it may be a matter of adjustment, or more time to get your butt broken in, but there are times a different saddle makes a difference.

Now, I know I'm noobie...I'm just relating my experience...YMMV.
