It's not really 15 pounds. I think the heaviest they make is about 4. That's still a hell of a lot.
Saddles are a very personal matter. We've already had one person in this thread who thought a Brooks was a medieval torture device, while others love them. When I got my road bike, I went through a few different saddles before finding the right one. If you aren't already certain, you should get your saddle from a place with a generous return policy, after trying out as many as you possibly can. Some bike shops have demo saddles - I borrowed mine for a week before I decided it was the right one.
