Ask a hundred different posteriors which saddle is prefered, probably get a 150 answers. I've toured with three different Brooks models, a Terry-liberator, serfas Rx, sella Anatomica and a Gilles Berthoud - all served their purpose well. Based upon my bike fit and riding position, prefer a leather saddle. The GB is my current favorite; very comfortable, but no hidden magic carpet. Ride what is comfortable for you, I ride what works for you & don't much care what someone may think of my posterior.
