Saddles are pretty much a personal thing. When I first upgraded my saddle to a Flite, I thought, yeah, harder is better. It was better than my stock cheesy perch, but much too hard. Then I bought a WTB mtn saddle for road riding, and things were better still. But after riding the Montauk Century, still wasn't quite right. Came upon a Specialized BG saddle on clearance. Oooh, getting even better. Turns out the saddle was too wide and still not quite comfy.

Then I bought my Tricross. Came with the latest Body Geometry saddle and it was the right size. SWEET! I had to get used to the feel of it, but it is perfect! Now, if I can find the perfect shorts...

Moral of the story is, you will have to try all sorts of different saddles and find out what works for you.
