A tip OP...if you try a lot of saddles and you can't find a good one, look inward grasshopper...its you.
I was off my road bike from late Nov thru end of Dec because I moved. When got back on the same bike I rode 4K miles on last year, my butt hurt...a Toupe 155mm, my favorite...a saddle I did a number of centuries on no problem. It was a combination of loss of butt conditioning and my riding position on the bike. 1K miles since the beginning of the year and my butt feels perfect after every ride. Took me about 3 weeks of riding. If you are riding too upright for example, your sit bones will be over loaded. You (we) all need to work on our position and pelvis position on the bike for the best saddle comfort.
Good luck in your search.
