I have gone through 10+ saddles and the onky shape so far that worked for me was the fizik arione. Its main benefit is it is all flat which gives you the full length to shift your weight on. It was the perfect shape but i wanted something just SMIDGE more "SUPPLE" (softer is the wrong teem because I didn't want cushion). I bought an arione tri 2 saddle which is the same shape but more of a supple leather and the padding is similar just not as firm (just slighty) it has been perfect for me so far.
