It depends on your physiology. The cut outs make no real difference to me, but I can't handle curved 'classic' saddles like Brooks and Turbos while other people love them. The important part is that when you're resting on your sit bones, there's nothing fleshy getting in the way. I've never heard of people having a negative reaction to the cutout, so maybe try tilting the saddle upwards a bit before throwing in the towel.
