Saddle question -- open or not?

My sense is that very little surface of the groin and of the saddle bears the weight with ISM seats. That means riders rest on hard surfaces no matter what. Of course if padding flattens out, it may increase the surface available for bearing weight and thereby reduce PSI.
You'll never know if it works for your without trying it out.

So expensive to try out all these saddles for them to possibly not fit! Wish my local shops stocked a good number of saddles.

I switched over to a Fabric Line series of saddle a few weeks ago and find it pretty comfortable. I'm thinking short/bibs have a lot to do with it too. I'm using some old beat up PI shorts and think if I get some better shorts with more strategic padding placement will help.
