Honestly I don't trust any padded or gel saddles. The only saddle I like are the Brooks saddles. I have done multiple 40+ miles rides, and the saddle comfort is the least of my worries. With regular saddles you are sitting against something, whatever might be in the saddle you feel after a while. With the Brooks saddle it's the leather that keep you suspended, so you aren't sitting against anything. That's the logic I think. That's my 2 cents. Good luck hinting for a saddle.
