Ok, I know saddle questions are many, but I hope this has a twist.

Reading through the forum it seems Brooks is the hands down winner in comfort saddle selection. Now to this newbie those saddles look like expensive torture devices. The forum posts have convinced me that soft/squishy actually causes problems so I am willing to give the brooks a shot. So why the post?

Any fat out of shape guys or gals using these saddles? (I will understand if you say....I know someone that...)

What about a supension seat post with these saddles?

And finally, being a gadget guy I must ask..

Has anyone that has been on a Brooks saddle used a Spiderflex saddle?

Thanks
Dave
