Posted this on a PM to Andrea in response to how it compares with the Aliante...

The Aliante is also new to me, I only got it about a month ago but already it's looking rather favourable for the Brooks! The Brooks was comfortable straight from the off, just a bit of tweaking height and position was needed straight after fitting, the Aliante is also pretty good for me but when I got in from riding the Brooks I had far less feeling of pressure down below. I'm looking forward to getting it run in.
I'll be taking it on the commutes this weekend, one issue that may rear it's head on a longer ride is that I noticed the insides of my thighs rubbing slightly against the sides of the nose of the saddle. It wasn't uncomfortable at all on a 45 min ride so we will have to see...
