My Brooks was pretty comfy but the quality was pretty iffy. It started to tilt a bit or maybe always did. This is the design but the rails were short too. I am tempted to (hopefully I did not mention this already) the Berthoud from Wallbikes. Once I convert my 10-speed to 11-speed, I may just do that. Leather seems hard but also has enough give and support. While the Berthoud is thicker than the Brooks, it may work out well. Wallbikes has a 6-month return policy.
