I have a mtb w/ a 1st gen Specialized BG that's wide and well padded. I also have a Brooks which is leather and hard. Both are comfortable with the edge going to the Brooks. I've done 60+ mile rides on the soft, squishy seat, but I noticed after I got my Brooks that it also chafed more than the smooth Brooks. Give the roadie saddle a week to get used to. Your sit bones need to get comfy and adjusted and you need a few trips to adjust the saddle position to find a comfortable position. Unless the saddle's too narrow and feels like it's heading for your colon everytime you sit on it, you may actually get used to it.
