FINAL RECOMMENDATION:

Keep riding your current saddle and see how your rear feels in two weeks. The initial soreness will likely have faded. But there may be other problems that make this saddle unworkable for you. Time will tell. Good luck.
I agree. Don't forget, the saddle/bar height ratio can also impact comfort. The more upright you're seated could add more pressure to your sit bones, thereby increasing discomfort. After a couple weeks of breaking in your body, experiment by raising your saddle or lowering your bars so that you're not putting as much weight on your posterior. It's important to make only small adjustments at a time.
