To make matters worse, when comparing Brooks saddles, they feel different from saddle to saddle, even within the same model. Leather is leather and as such, no two saddles will ever be the same. For example, I have two Pros, one has leather that feels harder and is thicker than than the other one. They are shaped the same, but they both "give" differently.

A good LBS will work with you to get a saddle that works. I have tried other saddles, ones with cut outs and ones without and find that I always go back to Brooks. They just feel right to me.

If you go with Brooks, avoid all of the "break in" methods that you find on the web. Stick with proofide and proper mounting position. And...Don't expect to sit on any saddle for long distances without standing occasionally to relieve pressure.
