This is very helpful. Sometimes I just need someone to tell me what I already know. I made a slight adjustment to my saddle before riding 50 miles today (nose down a notch), and I felt fine - other than suffering through the hills and wind, that is.
But you always wonder whether it could be better - so I will still probably look for a saddle and do some tweaking to my position on the bike. I'll go spend my $200 on something else.
