As we get older some of us lose the muscle tone we had back there, and some of us also find ourselves sitting more upright. I would be hard-pressed to try to tilt my pelvis to flatten my lower back while perched on a saddle like that. And the softness of the cushioning tends to squish up into anatomical crevices that I'd rather were left vacant. But by all means choose the saddle that fits the rider and the application.
