I had one like yours (but the Imperial) and after almost 1000 miles it was still hard as a rock and very uncomfortable. Sold it for a great price. If it feels that bad now I doubt that adjustments will Improve it to where it is not noticeable.
I now ride a Brooks B68 Imperial and love it. I weigh 145 and ride semi-upright on my Kona Rove Ti with Jones H-bars.
