It's interesting what works best for people. I assume that you have really wide sit bones if these saddles work for you. I have medium width sit bones and I have Ariones on my 3 bikes. It's usually not noticeable (I mean, the saddle is the last thing I think about) when I ride, but if I had to ride the distances you're doing, who knows...

I also do a lot of climbing and move around on the saddle a lot. If I was riding in the flats all the time, I'd probably try an Fizik Aliante. I had a Rolls for a week last fall on a rental bike and it didn't suit me at all.

Good luck on Paris-Brest-Paris in 2011!
