I do understand your comment about the price.
Several years ago when I had some back problems, it necessitated a more upright posture for bicycling. This is when I learned how important was the saddle, irrespective of the price (almost - I found one on Craigslist in new condition for $75 because the gentleman who bought it, didn’t like it). Before my back issues, I used to ride a nice old steel frame bike quite comfortably - it was a light road bike and in forward leaning position about half of my weight was supported on my legs. After I rearranged the posture, this $200 marvel became a necessity.
Now I can ride typical road bicycles but I have brought the handlebars of most of my bicycles 3-4 cm closer to me te reduce lean and it feels much better, if nothing else, the view is easier to enjoy.
