Bicycle Quarterly did a recent article on this phenomenon, the reviewer experienced the same issue to a greater degree on a new Brooks Team Pro. His conclusion was a bad batch of leather/quality control issues. I guess it depends on how severe the difference is, but the pics from the BQ article showed marked sag difference side to side. I have a Brooks Team Pro and a Swallow on different bikes, both breaking in even...FWIW.
