I have one. Light, not particularly comfortable, but it's the only saddle I've tried that doesn't get more uncomfortable the longer you ride. Most saddles start feeling a little rough at about 70 miles, painful at 90 miles, and I want to get off at 120 miles. The E3 starts off less than comfy but it never seems to get really bad like the others.
It does have a fairly small spot for your tailbones.

I've got about 600mi on one. There's no moment that you think "aaah" but I've done some 40mi rides on it and it never seems to get *really* uncomfortable. The saddle is designed to make contact with your sit bones and nothing else, thus it's really small. You only have one position it is comfy in so you have to have it adjusted perfectly. Once you are there, it's a solid saddle. That's totally unlike the Specialized Avatar I tried that was great for the first 5 miles then progressively got worse and worse and worse until at 15 miles I couldn't wait to get off.
That said, I'm trying a Fizik Aliante now and so far it seems to be the best I've tried yet, other than a Brooks.

I'm pretty happy with mine. But once a Performance Bike employee told me it was a Performance brand...well...I didn't like it as much. Didn't feel any different on my rear...just...well...you know. Wellgo and Forte and all.
I was surprised that when I got it in the mail there were no details in or on the box about the unique, special design features that were touted but unspecified on the website.
