I just fired a Terry's Liberator myself. Too wide and too high in the rear. For long rides I prefer a flat, firm saddle.
The new Selle Italia Fluid won hands down. Currently, they are $89.95 at Performance Bike and BikeWorld.com
Construction is excellent and they require no break-in either. They aren't a soft saddle as you might expect from the name. The fluid chambers are just right for me.
I'm not in my 20s either so what works for the pups doesn't work for me. FYI, I am putting around 40 miles every day on this thing and I suffer no pain or numbness at all.
