Regal or Rolls?

I narrowed down my choice of a new saddle between these two options. Will be used for city riding and the occasional lonng weekend ride. It looks like both are of great quality and I can't go wrong with either, but any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I'm a Regal fan myself...I tried a Rolls around ten years ago but stopped using after a couple of months because it just wasn't as comfortable to me...Of course, as always, saddle choice is a matter of individual preference...

Gotta buddy on the rolls, he loves it. I tried it out; a little too much padding for my taste, but a very tried and true saddle.

I've got a Regal. It's very very firm, and on the heavy side. I really like it though.

I was torn between a Turbo and a Regal. I went with the Regal and I'm super happy with it. I am going to build another bike soon that will sport a Turbo, though.

There it is...buy both and build a bike around the other one!

I have an original Turbo on a Panasonic DX4000. Since the Rolls is a lot like the Turbo that I like, I got one of those for my fixed. I got it on a killer deal from probikekit.com last year.

Ridden extensively on both, but forced to choose only 1, it would have to be the Rolls...

that deal was so sweet! I just wish I didn't get my card hacked. I also wish I ordered two!

(Not to hijack the thread, but I was curious after reading your post). I also have an original SSM Turbo saddle that is brand new never installed that I picked up for $20.00 about 10 years ago. Just out of curiosity, what might this saddle be worth? (Over the years them I've tried to find for sale on Eprey to get a value with no luck).
