I think some people are more sensitive than others, the saddle I use matters to me but not massively unless I'm on 100 + mile day rides fixed. Being fixed seems to make a bigger difference to me. As long as it's a narrow-ish saddle I'm cool.
I've also been experimenting with no padded shorts (still lycra just no padding) recently and have found this has been pretty comfy. This was on a freewheel bike though and although it was all day 8 hr + riding I had regular stops so I'd be a bit nervous of using this method on a long fixed road ride.
