It is a love/hate relationship with me....I have a Merek Carbon Saddle and find that for short rides (<50 miles) I really love it, but once I go over that, I begin to move around the saddle more than one should.

Love mine,have had no problems.It's funny how they can be comfortable.I have two bikes,one with carbon,one without.I prefer the carbon now.Padded saddles don't feel right after riding the carbon.I do ride out of the saddle a lot though,and when I'm in the saddle I don't have as much weight as others do on the saddle,so it may be different for others.

I am also a convert.
I use the Merek 95g saddle. My only minor gripe is that the back edges are a little sharp and sometimes pull at my shorts/bibs.
But saddles are highly personal, so what's comfy for one person is an ass-hatchet for another.
I suggest you try it...and if you don't like it, flip it on eBay.

Can anyone suggest one that might fit a Fizik Antares user? I've wanted to try one, but they all looked narrow and/or peaked which isn't my thing. I don't need the lightest one either, more interested in trying a bare saddle (no padding).

I have one of those hanging in my garage. Wasn't terrible, but not as comfy as my regular seat.
