+1 on what others have said about the Brooks. You will notice the springs when you are riding on rough pavement and I have also found that this seat is more comfortable than any of the foam / gel / etc... seats that I've had in the past. I have a gel seat on my other bike and find that I start having pain after only a couple of miles and no amount of moving around will make it go away. I don't have this problem with my B67 and the more I ride it (and break it in) the more comfortable it gets.
Yes, it's heavy but I feel if a pound or two is a problem, I need to loose it from my back side, not from my saddle.
You obvioulsy need to do what you think is best but you might want to go for a few rides before you send it back.
