Looking for something with some kind of suspension such as springs, but not sure I want to spend the money (or weight) on a Brooks. I have Brooks saddles on my vintage English 3-speeds, but I want something lighter weight and less expensive. I tend to have low back pain, so I want something to take up some of the road shock. My commuter project bike is a vintage 80s Bridgestone MTB with North Road bars roughly at the same level of my saddle. I was thinking of something along these lines..

I honestly don't know much of anything about modern bike saddles other than people saying to avoid gel. How does one go about finding the perfect saddle without trying 10+ models?
