I've got no idea about saddles - I was lucky enough to find my old one in the parts bin at Links, and it was supremely comfortable. It also just so happened that the Flite had an almost identical shape, so I lucked out massively in terms of finding a good looking, relatively cheap saddle that fits me really well.
I think it really is worth trying out one before you buy it though, especially if it'll be 3 figures - Ped Revs have a load of test saddles, so they might be worth a look? Also better bibs might be a (slightly) cheaper investment?
