Got springs but not springy. If springy you would be fed up quite soon. Jumping up and down trying to pedal is not fun. It just reduces the road buzz and take the edge off the bumps.
If this is the right seat for you depends on where your handlebars are related to your saddle. The wide seats is said to be used when saddle is below handlebar height. If your saddle is same or higher go for the slightly narrower "brooks flyer" saddle.
