Actually, I don't prefer a sagging saddle. I prefer a saddle that works as it was designed. I find my unmodified Brooks saddles to be very comfortable and durable. I also find my Selle Anatomica to be both comfortable and durable. Both need to be maintained and adjusted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions if they are to last and perform well beyond the first few months. I find that to be the rule with most things we buy and use. Al
