Carbon saddles...comfortable?

I see these very high priced carbon fiber saddles for $150 and up, and can't help but wonder....Are they actually comfortable? Logic tells me, with a rock hard carbon surface, and only the little chamois in your shorts for padding, it may not be the nicest saddle to sit on. Perhaps for racing only? I asked a guy who sells them, and he says they are comfortable to ride all the time. Not sure if it was just a sales pitch or not.

Does anyone have one of these bare carbon saddles? How are they compared to the Selle Italia SLR or SLK which have a little padding?
