I can't tell if you are aware that the underlying assumption is thst one saddle is being purchased. It is the willingness of the shop to let many saddles be tried before or after the deal is consummated that makes the whole arrangement work. I assumed that the Arione was purchased at an LBS to enable the trial process to take place.
