Some like them. I tried one, and it was completely wrong for me. Others will say the same about Brooks saddles. And all other saddles, for that matter. A highly rated saddle means many people like them, but it doesn't mean you will. We are all built differently, and it's too hard to find an ass-o-meter to predict which saddle you'll like. I agree with the above advice to try a saddle every day for two weeks. You'll know then. But to complicate matters, adjustment is also crucial. It might help to point the nose up slightly, or you might prefer having your saddle level. It is rarely a good idea to have your saddle nose pointed down. Also, the saddle should be at the right height, and not only that, the fore-aft measurement makes a difference, too.
