That being said....I tried 3 different saddles, stock Felt, Terry liberator, and some other torture device before the Specialized Alias. It is by far the most comfortable saddle I have used with absolutely no "break-in" period. It costs a little more but my can is worth the extra change.
Ha! I had my azz meter session tonight and picked up a Specialized Toupe. My old Terry Liberator was great, but broke down after a couple thousand miles.

The Toupe is definitely (much) harder than the old liberator, but I like that a sit up higher. Much less of a crush factor. Of course, I only got out for 8 miles. We'll see how the 110 miles goes on Saturday. Might be doing the last 40 miles standing
