I bought the BD "harder is better" line but eventually found that for me, there is nothing wrong with a little padding on a saddle. I have a Cervelo R3 and eventually settled on a Fizik Arione that I used for a couple years (best saddle I could find of the 8-10 saddles i tried).

Then I bought a Cervelo TT bike and it came with a modestly padded Profile Design TT Elite saddle - http://www.universalcycles.com/shopp...s.php?id=16449

This saddle had almost the exact shape as my Fizik Arione but it had some extra padding. I was instantly more comfortable on rides up to 6 hours. I have since sold my Fizik Arione saddles and now have this saddle on 4 different bikes (all bought pretty cheap on Ebay). The TT guys use this saddle some and I think they understand that there is nothing wrong with a little padding on a narrow saddle. It solved my comfort problem.
