As an easy experiment, try putting the saddle from your MTB on your roadie, and see if that makes the difference... Also, I second the "fatter tires at lower pressures" opinion. Since you specify the saddle as the source of your discomfort, I can assume that your position, posture, and handlebar ergonomics are okay for you.

Although looking at that picture, I notice that the handlebars are lower on the roadie than on the MTB behind it. You may just want to try a stem extender (or adjustable stem, since I think that's a quill stem, isn't it?) on the roadie to increase the handlebar height, since it might just be the different position you are in on the saddle that is causing problems.
