See for yourself.
I was also clueless about these until I saw a 'How Its Made' program on the Discovery Channel, I want one... I am saving my pennies. The saddle I eventually buy will probably be worth more than my bike, but I also know I can pass it over to my next bike.
It says a lot really. In this day of carbon fibre, and high tech metals... it is an old seat that is still regarded as the best thing to plant your butt on.
