As your legs get stronger you will be riding lighter on the saddle. I just bought a new saddle and will not decide if it's right for me until I get into shape. I have a group of friends that share the passion for road cycling, and we will swap saddles (just for a ride) to see if one feels better on the bottom than another.
You can go to the saddle swap thread if you find one that works better for you.
