In general though, I have found it to be accurate that the more expensive saddles to tend to be more comfortable. At least for my rear end.

What can you tell from a saddle from a roll around the block? I can find most saddles comfortable for a few miles, once you start getting into 20, 40, 60+ miles, that's when you will know if it really works. The stock saddle that came on one of my past bikes was great til I went on my first overnight ride, day two and I was out of the saddle on most of the way home because of the pain.
I hope it works for you though!
