I flip-flopped between a Brooks and a modern saddle, and finally settled on a Brooks because it seemed to have more consistently good reviews-- and because I saw more people switching *to* Brooks from the fancy modern saddles, rather than the other way around.

Once I had decided on a Brooks, it just seemed smart to get the springed version -- that and Sheldon Brown and lots of independent reviews all seemed highly favorable. Lastly, the Thudbuster seemed like it might be a bit temperamental about tuning in the right settings -- especially if you're going to be playing around with the seat position (up/down, front/back) -- as I understood it, if you move the seat, you also have to re-tune the Thudbuster.

my 2c!
