Thanks for all the great feedback (including Biker395 who appreciates my sense of humour ). I'll try and find a store that will allow me to try out, or return these saddles if it's not comfortable.

If bent is another name for a recumbent, then that's not an option for me. Don't mean to offend those that love them, but they don't look safe to me. I commute to work every day and I want to see the idiots who are trying to kill me. I much prefer the higher viewing position.
