I have ridden the carbon sadle for 3 years, about 9000 miles, with no problems at all. I also am right at 215 lbs. However I don't sit hard on the sadle, in other words I put more of my weight on my legs when going over rough stuff & also hover or stand over the sadle when hitting larger bumps such as bridge expansion joints. The ti rail saddle would be stronger & cheaper without much difference in weight compared to our body weight.
