I've gotten 30 miles in before the discomfort kicks in, even with my newer more betterer riding shorts. The Toupe shows no sign of discomfort after 30 miles...

I must caveat all of this with the fact that I am a heavier rider than most here. 205... Also on the Specialized saddles, my sit bone measurements put me on a 143 sized saddle. So, get fitted with the right size. Also, weight I am sure plays a part in what saddles will feel like.
Which toupe do you have? Looking at Specialized site, it shows 4 different ones, none of which have gel. But looking at google, there are ones with gel. WTF? I don't think I want gel, I have that in my avatar.
