It is totally subjective - no one can say if it works for you, but you. If you want to get a new saddle, you should measure your arse, check it against a sizing chart (like this one), and find a saddle the right width. And/or - as stated above - test ride the ones that might fit, see what works best. Starting with a brand choice is probably not ideal.

For example, I'm swapping out my stock (Giant) saddle. I tried the Fi'zi:k for my width and style (Aliante, for 'Bulls'). It hurt just as badly as my Giant, if not worse.

I have relatively wide sit-bones (120-125mm), and need a wider saddle (145-150mm). None of the Fi'zi:k saddles are over 142mm.

I testing the wider Selle Italia SL Flow (147mm) and it feels great; I'm trying out the Selle SMP Pro (148mm) on Monday.

YMMV.
