I'll look into getting a proper bike fit like one of you guys said.
I was about to say the same thing as Kayce, until I read your actual post. You're right, you aren't asking for recommendations.
I have yet to experience saddle nirvana, but I guess when I go on longer rides and I don't really notice the saddle, then that's good enough. The times when I really start to notice it are when I am riding at a slower pace (with my wife, bless her but she rides so casually).
I would think that the perfect saddle is just going to fit you with just the right shape and cushioning, for short and long rides. Longer rides might require a chamois no matter what though.
