When I got into road bikes in 2009 my bike came with a saddle that everyone on this forum described it as an ass hatchet. Based on reviews it was on my short list to replace. After buying the bike, shorts, water bottles & cages, shoes, pedals, etc. I did not have the money to replace the ass hatchet. It was uncomfortable at first but after a month or so of riding I liked the ass hatchet. So when I had some extra cash I did replace the ass hatchet with the same saddle in a different color. Still have it. It sold at the time for around $30. My point is what a lot of people will say is a terribly uncomfortable saddle may not be for you or vise versa.
