Thanks. This is my top candidate right now - I think even without the attractive money-back for the Brooks at wallbike.com. Not sure about that. If I don't like it maybe I could sell it on ebay? (especially if people get the money they're asking there).

I'm figuring on the Titanico, not the X since I'm 145 lbs. But I see the following language at the Selle Atomica web site about the NSX. "The leather top is comparable to traditional leather saddles from competing brands making NSX perfect for riders who want less break in time. NSX will mold to your unique shape in days or weeks, not years.". This seems like marketing mumbo jumbo. Am I to believe the other saddles (not NSX) might take years to break in?!? They can't be serious.

Before reading that I was leaning toward TruLeather, which they say requires more break-in than WaterShed, since they say that lasts longer. Which do you have?
