Buy with a credit card and pay it off later? It's the American Way...
If you can't spend money, the only other thing to do is continue to swap the comfortable saddle back and forth. This is much easier if you mark the saddle rails and seatposts so you can quickly put the saddle into the correct position on each bike. Marking with a "paint pen" is usually more durable than a Sharpie. Here's what you do:
1) Put the saddle on Bike #1 and adjust it to the correct tilt and position.
2) Use a paint pen to draw a ring around the saddle rails right in front of the clamp. Find some way to mark the clamp so that you can replicate the proper tilt.
3) Put the saddle on Bike #2 and adjust it to the correct tilt and position
4) Use a paint pen, preferably of a different color, to draw a ring around the saddle rails right behind the clamp. Find some way to mark the clamp so that you can replicate the proper tilt.
When you swap the saddle from bike to bike, you can use the marks you made on the saddle to quickly get the correct position in the clamp. And you can use the marks made on the clamp to quickly dial-in the correct tilt. You could probably do the same thing by taking measurements with a tape measure, but marking the rails has always been faster and more convenient to me.
