I had bad luck at performance with a bike, but I see that they carry a vast collection of Selle and a handful of Fiziks so I may use them to try those saddles out
Don't ignore the lesser brands - they have 11 brands of saddle, with several examples in each brand. I make it 76 different saddles. I just got back from a 30 mile trial of this saddle: WTB Rocket V Race Saddle - Closeout!
I could ride a century easily on that saddle, not bad for $30. I think one of the other WTBs might fit me even better.

I came back across some flats into a 20 mph headwind, flat back in the drops, pedaling hard at 90 for about 1/2 hour. I push back to lift my perineum off the saddle in those conditions, which makes it important for me to have a saddle that's rather narrow in the midsection. My thighs whump my ribs like that, but it's better than the alternative. I should probably have shorter cranks.
