The reason modern saddles are so preoccupied with comfort by way of comparison is because virtually none of them are as comfortable as large leather saddles... Brooks doesn't need to worry about comfort because for a vast majority of people these saddles are extremely comfortable by nature - the saddles literally wear into ideal forms based on a rider's shape and motions.
