My feeling is that if other saddles work for you (I have Terry saddles on all my bikes and love them), why put yourself through the Brooks break-in period, and why worry about your saddle if you have to leave the bike out in the rain. Yes, there are those who love their Brooks straight out of the box, but there are other people who only love them after 100, 500 or 1,000 miles, so why wait.

So maybe I would love a Brooks if I had the patience to try one, but I have not found the need to do so.
