Not only is there great variance between saddle designs, I have found there are variances within a single model of saddles. A few months ago when I was checking out some Terry saddles, and the dealer had 4 of a particular model, I noticed that the cushioning felt different between them. In this particular case one was noticeably softer, another was somewhat softer, and the other two were harder.

Since them I've found the same type of differences on two other occasions, once on a Selle saddle and the other time on a Bontrager model.
