No. As evidneced by my BSO test.
Proven and time tested, doesn't mean good value for money. I think we can all name products that survive solely on their perceived heritage. I'm undecided yet if Brooks is one of these. They do have some new models which are interesting. And, to be fair, I probably see dozens of 15+ year old Brooks saddles on beater city bikes every weekend in CPH!
